After treatment of scabies, i still see redness and have bumps. it has been two weeks after treatment. is this normal?

YES: The scabies mite burrows under the top skin layers and poos in their burrow. Much of the intense itching and redness is due to your scratching and the bodies reaction to this debris.This can take up to six weeks to fade.
