Suggest Treatment For Tickling And Itchy Sensation All Over The Body

Hi,,, I have had scabies for about a year now but I don t really scratch because I don t want bumps all over me. I get the burrows and the bumps on between my fingers and toes. I feel a tickling sensation all over my body 24\7. I can t even wear long sleeve shirts because of the bad tickling and itchy feeling. I have used the permithrin cream like twice already and it litterally makes no difference. I need to know what to do...... I know I have scabies for a fact and I need help.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Itching or tickling over the body could be due to eczema,allergic hives,atopic dermatitis, or fungal infection etc.
The important thing is to diagnose first rather than treatment.
You can go to skin specialist for detailed history and inspection to have a clear diagnosis.
If you have used permethrin and if it has got effective then I think this could be other than scabies.
You might require topical corticosteroid like beclomethasone, clobetasol or mometasome with antifungal cream like miconazole or itraconazole with antihistamines orally to reduce itchin .
Some time oral antifungal once dosage with prednisolone are also effective.
So,you must consult to the doctor.
Regards,
