Skin cream: Firstly how long have you been using the cream? Secondly - call your doctor and let him know perhaps he may add to or change the cream.

Re-evaluate: A scabies cream will only help a rash that is caused by a scabies infestation. So , it may be that the diagnosis and treatment plan need revision.
