Scabies rash does it get worse after tx with cream?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What kind?: It won't get worse with cream but will stay and spread for a long time if not properly treated. Even after the treatment has killed all of them, you may still be itching for many more days because of the bug droppings in the skin.
