A member asked:

After treating scabies with first dose of permethrin is it ok to still be itchy? especially at night? granted it's not as bad as before.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: the itching can last for a week sometimes which is why I recommend an antihistamine or steroid and repeat treatment for another week. Get checked if your symptoms persist . Good luck
