I'm really worried because I've been dealing with a scabies infestation for the last four weeks. I've already tried taking teczine for 12 days, used HH fuduic cream, and also took Xyzal for 12 days along with micodoxbx and the same cream. I even applied permetrin all over my body twice and took ivermectol 12mg twice, but it keeps coming back. Can you help me figure out why it's not going away and what else I can do to get rid of it?

I'm using Deriva CMS for my acne issues, and I've heard that it initially causes all the acne to surface before it heals the skin. My doctor suggested mixing it with Cetaphil moisturizer, applying it for an hour before bed, washing it off, and then using Cleargel. Since it's winter and my skin tends to get dry, I'm worried it might cause a dry patch. Do you think I could use Deriva CMS as a spot treatment for just a few hours to avoid this? Would love some advice on this!

- Its best to follow your doctor's advice and mix Deriva with Cetaphil to avoid dryness, especially during winter. Using it directly as a spot treatment could cause irritation or dryness. Stick to the recommended routine for better results and comfort.
