What Causes Itching Sensation In Body Inspite Of Using Permethrin For Scabies?

My wife was diagnosed with scabies 8 weeks ago. The doctor gave her and i permethrin. At the time i felt fine but treated myself anyways. After a week she was all better but i felt itchy with pinprick feelings randomly on my body. I used permethrin 2more time for a total of 3 times in 2 weeks. It did nothing to help. 2weeks later i went to my doctor who told me that i now have them. He prescribed ivermitic pills which i took twice 10 days apart. I used permethrin once during this time too. Still nothing had gotten better and nothing had gotten worse. Did the whole house cleaning thing a total of 4 times and bath every night with 10% sulfur soap. What did i do now? Wife is still fine.
