How long does scabies take to clear up? I've used permethrin cream for two nights straight, but these itchy rashes are driving me nuts. How can I get rid of them quickly?

-It usually takes 1-2 weeks for scabies to clear up after using permethrin cream. The itching may persist for a few days even after treatment, but if symptoms continue beyond 2 weeks, consult your doctor for further care.

I'm a bit concerned after using permethrin cream to treat my scabies. The itching all over my body has stopped, but now the skin on my penis is really dry and flaky, and it's causing cuts. I had scabies on my scrotum and penis too. Is this a normal reaction to the treatment, or should I be worried?

That needs evaluation.visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
