What Causes Itchy Bumps On The Body After Treatment Of Scabies?
I have had scabies for almost 2 months now. I had one treatment and things got better for a second but I still had subtle itching and still was getting bumps. So I m doing another treatment ... my boyfriend has been around for the whole time pretty much. But he has no signs or symptoms is there a reason ?

Hi,
Scabies is a contagious disease, but your bf is not infected because he may have good immunity or he may be in contact when scabies infection is within incubation period means it can't infect others during that period.
Now if you have been cured, then you can take tablet cetirizine and tablet chlorpheniramine once in a day after taking some food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
