Diagnosed by paediatrician to treat for scabies. used permethrin twice (7 days apart). 3 weeks later, new bumps appeared and itching has increased with crawling sensation. can we retreat the family again? breastfeeding and 5 month old included?

Consult pediatrician to be sure it is still scabies and if it is you might need an oral medication like ivermectin rather than what you have already used topically.
