You should see a doctor if you suspect you have scabies. Many home remedies have been described, but none have been shown to work. Also, other conditions may cause rashes that itch, and it is important to have the correct diagnosis. When calling to schedule an appointment, be sure to tell your doctor's staff that you are concerned that you or your child may have scabies.
If you still have symptoms two weeks after treatment, you should be reevaluated by a physician. Sometimes the itching takes a while to go away. It is also possible to get re-infected.
