Scabies: Sometimes the irritation after the scabies have been treated can be pretty significant, BUT two months is a long time and it is possible that he was re infected from the same place he got them in the first place. A repeat evaluation is necessary.

Many reasons: Could be a few reasons. First, the diagnoses could be wrong & the child doesn't have scabies. Secondly, sometimes the "bumps" associated with scabies can take months to go away. It could also be a dermatitis due to irritation of the skin by the mites. Last, the mites could be resistant to the medication used to treat them.I'd recommend having your MD reevaluated him.
