Had scabies 3 months ago, was treated and it cleared up. started getting itching spots again, used premethrin again and still getting itchy spots?

Could be other: It could be something else or it could be scabies again. If you're exposed to a person who hasn't been treated or cleared, it's possible to get scabies again.
