Recurrent Scabies: Seeking Effective Treatment
Hello Doctor,
was diagnosed with scabies three months ago. The doctor prescribed permethrin lotion, ivermectin tablets, and levocetirizine. However, after 20 days, I developed bumps and swelling on my scrotum. The doctor confirmed that I had scabies again and prescribed the same treatment. Now, after one month, he has diagnosed me with scabies once more and has prescribed the same treatment again. Please advise me on what to do now
Thankyou!
