Hi!
usually, scabies is a skin disease which takes a longer time to get under control at least for 2 weeks. Continue a proper course to get relief .wash all your clothes ,bed linen in hot water and dry up in hot sun for better control. Use moisturising cream like nivea or simple coconut oil twice daily to prevent dryness.

It takes mainly 1 month. Bt if any contact persists then it can recur. So you need to see if any other person is inected or not. N most important is the way of medicine application. It should ve applied in correct manner.

First you need to find out cause of itching if it is scabies or not. Also scabies do not go in a month it can take upto 3-4 months or more than that. Pls opt for pvt chat for further discussion.

Nodular scabieski naamki koi beemari nahi hai. Scabies ki problem kisi physicain ya skin specialistse confirm karna chaahiye. Aur iske liye perssonal cleanliness, benzyl benzoate aur permethrim jaise cream aur ivermectine ki goliyaan kisi doctorke advise par theek tarahse jyaadah din ke liye istemal karna hai. Doosre contact ke baareme nigah rakhna. Taklif sahi no hone par skin specialist se consultkarke regular follow up karna zaroori hai.
