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?

I'm a bit confused about what to do after a 25% TCA peel. I've heard different things about whether or not I should use moisturizer right away. Some people say it might slow down the healing process. Is there any truth to that?
