How Can Severe Itching In The Body Be Treated?
I applied 60 grams permethrin cream a week ago, seemed to temporarily make the scabies movement and itch subside briefly. But it came back. Applied straight kerosene to groin area 2 days ago. fluttering subsided substantially in groin, but lots of itch and flutter elsewhere. Applied 1 cup of kerosene over whole body last night, got good sleep, bathed in morning. Itch is back strong in arms and chest today, so I think some are still alive. Any suggestions?

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns. You have done what is needed.
1. Permethrin cream should be continued until the scabies is completely resolved.
2. Avoid contact with others.
3. Maintain tidiness.
4. Keep all crevices and groin area dry.
