Get a better Dr: Scabies is not transmitted from any surfaces. You get it from contact with an infested person. 4 treatments in 1 week is 3 too many. Next week you can apply ONCE for 12 to 24 hours from ears to toes entire skin. From treatment to reduced itch may be 2 weeks. To complete absence of itch can be many weeks.
