Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of scabies, my treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply a Permethrin 5 percent lotion from neck to toe.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetrizine.
4. Other treatment options are oral Ivermectin and Crotamiton lotion given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
