A member asked:
Took permethrin for scabies rash. initial rash has cleared but new rashes are forming in new spots on my body. did the treatment not work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It's recommended to receive two treatments with 5% Permethrin 1 week apart. Make sure that you treat your whole body from chin to toes and leave the Permethrin on your skin for 8 to 14 hours before washing it off.
