hello,
as you know for scabies you have to apply benzyl benzoate below neck for 3 consecutive days and you have to clean you beddings, clothes, towel with hot water daily.
if it is involving face you should consult dermatologists.
for eyelids you can apply soothing agents like lactocalamine
take care
