No: That's probably just bubbles from the hydrogen peroxide.

No: Why H2O2??? Are you SURE it was scabies? Exactly how was it treated? What was the source of scabies? Were all your contacts treated? You need a dermatologist.

Post scabetic eczema: Can get a dermatitis for a number of weeks after scabies treatment. Perhaps consult a doctor either in person or on this forum for a proper diagnosis
