Is it possible for scabie bumps to appear after treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With scabies it is: important to treat and retreat 4 days after first treatment to get the eggs. Also all clothing and bedding need to be treated. If all this isn't done, you may not have cleared the mites. You may also just be itching even after mites cleared as itching can continue up to one month after treatment. See derm
