Hello hope you are keeping safe 1) I understand your concern, scabies can be very stubborn to treatment if not used properly anf if proper measures are not followed. 2)please make sure you have followed these methods - permethrin 5% cream, to be applied from neck and below, overnight for 8 hours and washed off in the morning the next day (half the tube to be used), the same to be repeated the next week, the same day (other half of the tube)(for eg. If this thursday is the first application, second application would be on next thursday) - permethrin soap for bath daily - t. Cetrizine 10 mg once daily in the night for 5 days (or till the itching persist) - treatment with ivermectin oral tablets, total of 2 doses, 2 weeks apart. - all the members of the house should be treated at the same time as this can be very contagious - sun- dry all used linen, bedsheet, towels to kill the mite. 3) please note that even after the proper treatment, itching may still persist for 2-4 weeks, this is not because the disease is still active, it is because you have a hypersensitivity reaction to the scabies mite faecal matter and it will subside on it own 4) if still the symptoms are not reducing you can meet a nearby dermatologist for microscopic and culture studies to rule out other causes hope your query is cleared thank you and take care.
