Hi,
From history it seems that there is no full recovery from scabies.
Due to itching there might be having some infection due to irritation producing boils over the part.
Important is to clean the affected part with rough towel after shower so that all scabies blisters opened and allow anti-scabies lotion for penetration.
If there is no opening of the blister, anti-scabies lotion will not work and will not give result as parasites will not be affected and remain live.
Go for treatment of all family members.
Ok and take care.
