I have been itching for about 3 months and i thought I was allergic to something so my dr. tried several creams and pills to try to help the itching. I even tried oatmeal baths and lotions for excema and nothing helped so I returned to the dr. She then told me she thought it might be scabies. So on the 10th she gave me the permethrin and i did the treatment and noticed I still itched a little and the bumps on my inner thighs almost healed completely. I noticed today the bumps are coming back on my thighs and my knees and legs are itching again.. Does this mean im reinfested? Should I do the treatment again? I cant see my dermatologist for another 2 weeks and I cant take the itching anymore.. Does anyone have any thoughts that could help in the mean time?

If you still have that active type itching in the evening hours and new lessions popping up it could be, it is hard to tell though cause those permethrin creams also make you itch. Maybe try using sulfur treatments while you wait for your doctors appointment, sulfur is only going to benefit your skin and help get a head start if it is scabies.

You can get scabies creams and sulfur soaps online but be sure your getting something that is effective. Also if you have an extra 15$ I would highly suggest you get a pocket micro-scope so you can determine areas which higher concentrations of the mites. Here is a site that has all of the above:

Hope this helps!
