Why is it that i am so much more itchy after scabies treatment yesterday? it was my first treatment. i do it again next week. i used to be medium itchy, now i'm severely itchy.

Itch after scabies: This is a very common occurrence and is your body reacting to the infection and not the scabie itself and may take weeks to resolve.

Itching: After scabies treatment, the body of the arthropods stay in the skin & your body is reacting to it, you might continue to itch until the body is completely resolved, you can use OTC hydrocortisone cream & zyrtic or benadryl (diphenhydramine) to alleviate the itching. Feel better.
