Next my husband went to a dermatoligist, hr prescribed Elimite. I have treated now 4 times. My husband seemed to be better but had new itchy spots yesterday. My son has treated twice and rash continues to spread. We are at our wits end.
Itchy rashes have many causes besides scabies, such as eczema or even nerves.
Applying Elimite to scabies will almost always clear it up in 1 week. Persistence makes one need to question the original assumption. Just thinking about scabies is enough to make everyone around itch and scratch.
