How long is it supposed to it take for scabies to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-4 weeks: After the initial application of a topical agent to kill scabies, symptomatic relief usually occurs within two to four weeks. If symptoms persist past this, then a second application of the topical agent may be necessary.
