A member asked:
Got treated for scabies, put permethrin from the neck down last night, but woke up with itchy bites on my side. i think its bites or is from treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bites: Keep using the treatment as stated by your doctor, also you should use hot, soapy water to wash all clothing, towels and bedding you used. Dry with high heat. Dry-clean items you can't wash at home. Consider placing items you can't wash in a sealed plastic bag and leaving it in your garage, for a couple of weeks, this will starve the mites. Treatment will take awhile.
