Dermatologist 's  Response
Itching at night is a symptom of scabies but is there any family history of the condition or did you notice any lesions on your body. Which parts of your body itch the most? Hhmite cream is fine if the diagnosis is scabies but you also need to take tablet levocetrizine 5 mg twice daily for 10 days along with tab ivermectin single dose stat .You should also apply clobetasol propionate -gentamicin combination cream over the areas that itch maximally. You will feel better in few days but it will take 3-4 weeks for your condition to resolve completely.
