A member asked:
I was diagnosed with scabies a month ago. i was treated on the end of december. 2 weeks later, i was in contact w/ my bf. will he need to be treated?

Maybe: Did you get treated once or twice? We usually recommend 2 applications of the cream, one week apart. If you were only treated once, i suggest he gets treated it too, and you should have 2 consecutive treatments, one week apart if new skin lesions appear.
