A member asked:
Does a scabies rash, come up, get itchy, and then go away, and come back again? and if so what would it look like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Itch may persist: After treatment, the itch of scabies can persist up to a week or two. At that time the rash should be gone even if the itch persists. If after that time and using anti-itch medication, the itching comes back as does the rash- consider retreatment.
