If you took ivermectin because the permethrin didn't seem to help, it may not have been necessary. It usually takes 2-3 weeks for scabies symptoms to clear up, even when treatment is effective. Symptoms (itching etc) are from allergy to the scabies mite, its eggs, etc. Drugs kill the mite right away, but it takes time for the mites, eggs, etc to be cleared out. Discuss with your doctor.
