Question

I've been dealing with this scabies issue for almost 45 months now. I used permethrin and lindane lotion, and that helped a lot, but I'm frustrated because I still have these nodular bumps and persistent itching, especially in my armpits and genitals. I've tried corticosteroid ointments and even oral antiallergics, but nothing seems to fully clear it up. What else can I do to get rid of them and the itching once and for all? I'm pretty concerned about why this is just not going away.

Question

I'm using Benzoyl Peroxide, Benzac AC, Acnicin, Clindamycin, and Adapalene for my skin. I'm a bit confused about how to apply them. Should I be using one at night and the other in the morning, or is it better to alternate between them? Can you help me figure out the best routine?

Question
