A member asked:

Did 2 rounds of permitherin cream for scabies. both times got worse. (more borrows, bite, crawling sensation) does this mean misdiagnosis? no scabies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be scabies: It is not uncommon for people to get more itchy instead of less a few days after scabies treatment. It is also important to put the cream over the whole body and not just the part with the rash, especially cutting nails and applying on hands well. Linens and clothes need to be washed well and close contacts may need to be treated. Sometimes people may retreat after.a week but not usually.
