Yes the rash can still take awhile to go down. My friends kid gave it to me and the whole house had to be done and make sure that you do all your clothes and bedding. They do recommened that you have the treatment again a week later and go through the whole process again to make sure that it has gone as it can spread very easily. The scabies prob have gone but the rash can take up to a month to go but it may be worth repeating the treatment. Don't use baby oil and sit in a hot tub as advised above because if you still have the scabies hot water will make it worse and you don't want it to turn it to invertigo because that is really bad!!

Yes it is possible because the area becomes itchy only when the mite starts to burrow larva on to the skin. Make sure that you apply the cream correctly. That should be applied once after you take a bath then don't remove it or wipe it until the next day. You must also check the bedsheets, wash it under hot water to completely eradicate the mites because if you don't the mite will just live there and will continue to infect you. Hope this helps.God bless

Just like the other person said, get to your doctor ASAP, I had scabies once, and it is the worst itching I ever experienced. If it is scabies, you'll need a prescription for the "medicine" that kills them ( it is actually a pesticide). Realize that even after treatment, you need to figure out where it came from, and wash all of your clothes and bedding in hot water with bleach.

Yes. I am a kindergarden teacher in South FL and after the hurricanes I was given scabbies by a student. I had red rings, little rashes here and there, discoloration, and some spots that didnt even itch. I had to have a treatment done by the doctor. Do not do anything without the doctor though, its very poisonous.

Throw away the creams and get some oil, like olive oil, baby oil, and soak in a hot tub , rinse with hot and then cold water after u foam up with good antibacterial soap. Put aloe vera on skin to heal.
Viruses, mites, etc. hate oils and they cant survive in oils.
