Question : I have been seeing my family doctor and a dermatologist for a couple off months, for sever itching. They have been treating me for psoriasis. Today she said it is scabies. I put the Rx cream Permethrin on, the itching got worse. After 45 minutes of non stop itching, I took a shower and washed it off. I am itching so bad, I feel crazy. What should I do?
