Is it normal to still itch and see new red bumps occur after treating scabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Even after complete tx , the itch of scabies can remain for weeks but that itch should be improving over that time period. The use of topical steroids may be helpful to tx the itch and rash from scabies.
