Brief Answer:
Scabies needs complete eradication first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thankyou for your question.
As scabies is very contagious .Many people make a mistake at the end of treatment ,that is to wash all clothes,bed linen and sheets,towels etc,and all family members (if any) needs to be treated also,wether they get symptoms or not.It is necessary that all
family members follow the same treatment.
It is possible that you could have got new infection from prisnor.But I would like to ask first that if your family members have also been got treatment two weeks apart? And despite spraying daily your bed for one week,did you washed all clothes,towels,and any thing that you used at the end of the treatment ,means after 2nd week?
Hopefully I will help you further ,after clearing my doubts .
