Suggest Treatment For Itching Due To Scabies

my family, that is me , my wife and daughter of 5 yeats were diagnosed with scabies. we followed it up with a tube each of 30 mg permethrin cream. my itchiness is still their in navel, thigh and groin area. Scratching my scrotal sacs resulted in two smalll lumps and itchiness is maximum in navel and scrotal areas. my family is much better though they too are not itch free. my questions are
A how did we get scabies.....from my child's school via her or the washerman through clothes going for a wash
B can we use permethrin again as their certainly was some relief, if yes after how many days of first application. can the cream be put only in infected area or on whole body as was done in first usage to cover whole body neck downwards
C I still get up during sleep due to itchings
D can sarcoptes scabei affect scrotal sac and groins and cause lumps, I have two, though I had some itching in genital region but one tenth as at present
E though I am using clotrimazole and nycil powder its not much help, please suggest something to soothe
