I've been dealing with scabies for the past 23 weeks, and it's causing a lot of itching, especially at night. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any advice or treatment you could recommend to help relieve this itching?

For scabies treatment, consider Permethrin 5% cream (e.g., Scabex or Elimite): apply a thin layer from neck to toes, leaving it on for 8-12 hours before washing off, and repeat the treatment in 7-10 days to ensure elimination of mites and eggs;
