A member asked:

I was diagnosed with scabies 2 days ago. i have taken a dose of ivermectin and 2 applications of permethrin. yet i am still extremely itchy. is there anything i can do to get relief?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The itch is the bodies reaction to scabies poop left in their burrows. Killing the bugs will not stop this. Hydrocortizone cream and cool compresses can reduce itch along with an antihistamine like Benadryl.
