Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that permethrin is very toxic compound do not use it without doctors guidance. I advice you to do Grams Staining from the ichy area to diagnose and than start the treatment. If you have taken the permethrin once it is not requires second time in such a short duration.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
