What Should Be Done For Body Itching While Suffering From Scabies?
Yes, I treated myself for scabies 3x the last treatment was Thursday, but I have a little itch and it feel like something is crawling under my skin at times. I don t know if it s nerves or what or if the treatment didn t work. I am taking baths now with Pine Tar soap. I vacuum my bed and put a bed cover over my mattress, wash linens on hot water, and drying clothes 5 times in the dryer and putting them in garbage bags. I treated my entire body. What else to do?

Hi,
You can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for itching.
If you are still experiencing symptoms, you can apply Permethrin lotion for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
