You need to check if any other member in your family or the people you stay with have symptoms suggestive of scabies as they too will require treatment. If not, you will keep getting reinfected through them.

Scabies is highly contagious and spreads quickly through close physical contact in a family, school or nursing home. The person diagnosed with scabies and everyone who has had close contact with that person need treatment. Even people who do not have any signs or symptoms must be treated. This is the only way to prevent new outbreaks of scabies weeks later. You will need to wash clothes, bedding, and towels to get rid of mites that may have fallen off your skin. You also should vacuum your entire home. Antihistamine- to control the itch and help you sleep, pramoxine lotion to control the itch. Antibiotic, to wipe out an infection. Short course of topical steroid cream can be used to control itching.
