Diagnosed With Scabies. Itchy Rashes On Elbows, Hips And Thighs. Treated With Lyclear Cream. Need Permanent Cure For Recurring Rashes

Hi, I visited a GP 2 weeks ago with rash on my elbows, hips and thigh area and was diagnosed with scabies and subsequently treated (myself & partner) with Lyclear cream. All bedding & clothing was also washed. Because my rash didn t seem to be subsiding, I treated myself again, 7 days later, afterwhich the rash increased and has started to appear on several different areas of my body; armpits/backs of knees/back. Is this normal after treatment? Do I need to treat again? Is patience the key here?

THE MORE LONG THE DURATION MORE TIME YOU NEED TO GET SCABIES OUT
YOU TAKE TAB DOXITAB100MGM BD
TAB ALLEGRA 120 MGM OD
APPLY EMSCAB LOTON AT NIGHT FULL BODY FOR 7 NIGHTS
WASH YOUR CLOTHES BED SHEET WITH POTASSIUM PER MAMGNATE WASH
APPLY HISTOCALAMINE IN MORNING AND EVENING
I THINK YOU NEED TO DO 3 WEEK
