Scabies. i put on the treatment and went to sleep in bed, without cleaning it. cleaned it in the morning after washing off treatment. was i too late? did i reinfect myself?

Probably not.: This is probably okay. Do wash and clean cloths and sheets as recommended and have any close contacts treated as well, to avoid re-infection. See http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/scabies/

Which treatment? not late!: If you used Permethrin topical 5% cream for Scabies: Apply cream from head to toe; leave on for 8-14 hours before washing off with water. May reapply in week in live mites appear. This is for typical scabies. Now for crusted scabies: You need to apply the 5% cream daily for 7 days, then 2x per week until cured (use with oral Ivermectin. It is all in the details. Call the Doctor who prescribed your medicine for best advice.
