The doctor prescribed me the permethrin cream 5%w/w.. I've applied it several times before I sleep. And I just stopped applying today. I called to tell me doctor that it still itches. So I made an appointment with my dermatologist. It has been a good 2 weeks now. Am I suppose to wait longer? My body looks so gross now. It's covered in red patches, and I can only hope that the reason I'm still itching is because of the allergic reaction. And yes, it can spread on your face.. Does anyone know if it'll scar?

Does anyone know if it’ll scar?

It just still itched for a while after using it (like weeks). I would not keep using pesticide on skin over and over and over. It isn't good for you so just use it and then give your body time to get better. My friend didn’t think the permethrin worked for her scabies but it did.

Contrary to what i have read, YES, THEY DO IFEST FACE AND HEAD. my child has some marks on her cheeks, ears and around the hair line.....We used the permethrin5 cream , but after 5 days the severe itch and red welts reappeared on her body, I felt horrible that I couldn't do anything, We reapplied the permethrin that night, and are hoping for the best....I have tried a bleach bath, using 1/2 cup of bleach and a full tub...I stayed in for like an hour, and the next day I woke up with crawlie feelings all over my body....I thought it was supposed to KILL THE SUCKERS...I am now rubbing the kids down in Vaseline to see if this helps..The doctor told me that the kids aren't contagious after the permethrin treatment,,,, but HOW DO I KNOW IF THE SEVERE ITCHING AND WELTS THAT RETURNED ON MY DAUGHTER ARE NOT A REINFESTATION???? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO....I am at my wits end....and it's only been 2 weeks of this...i am reading horror stories of people who have this for months and even years.....ANY ADVICE FOR KIDS....

I wonder if it's effective. The weird thing is my cousin still isn't sure if she even has a scabies rash because the dermatologist said he can't tell for sure.

Can it be used without tumeric because that i think is the staining agent.

I read that this is normal for up to four weeks and more bumps appeared after treatment behind my knees and in the arm pits. I just hope all the little goobers are dead and I don't have to do this again. I was treated with the elimite cream this week for scabies, I stopped itching for a day and then the itch was insane!

She used the prescription lotion but knows someone who travelled to a yoga center in India and they used neem leaves and oil there. Also she never had it in the finger webs like the pictures of scabies usually show. It was on her wrists and waist. Got it during finals week too.

I have heard that neem is good for this but don't know anyone who used it as a home treatment for mites.

But I read you can have scabies rash and never see the burrow too. Do most people see the burrow or is it too small to see?

The scabies itching is still pretty severe. How do you know if the itching after using the scabies cream means you got it again or if it is just the old scabies rash taking a while to get better?
