Hello lybrate-user
Only one application of permethin is enough. And it will take 1 to 2 week to get recovered.

Supportive treatment is very important in scabies. Dip all clothes in hot water for 20 minutes and wash later. Treatment of all family members with permethrin cream is required at the same time. The method of application of permethrin cream is to be noted. Permethrin cream should be applied to whole body from neck to toe at night only once a week for 2 to 3 weeks.
