I'm 21 and have been dealing with scabies for like 8 months now. I've tried a bunch of creams like permethrin and lindane, but nothing works anymore. The red bumps just keep coming back on my scrotum and penis after a few days of any treatment. Can you suggest something that could really fix this for good so it doesnt return again?
