A member asked:

I've had scabies for 3 months?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Scabies: It appears that you've tried Ivermectin and Permethrin according to your medication list. Were they helpful? If not, i would seek second opinion as there is quite a bit of misdiagnosis of scabies. If you've not seen a dermatologist, get a referral.
