Red Spots On Torso, Fade And Then New Ones Appear. Used Permethrin, Itch, Feel Hot, No Better. Thoughts ?

Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
Even if the condition is scabies it can take 8-10 days after the successful treatment to get relief.
You can use tab.Zyrtec twice daily for relief from itching.
Other possibility can be urticaria in your case.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
