Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is a scabies. It has been relapsed due to incomplete and improper treatment. It is a highly contagious skin disease caused by sarcoptes scabie.
Kindly consult the dermatologist for the proper treatment.
You may follow:
- Tab ivermectin 12 mg for two days and repeat every week for few weeks.
- Tab levocetirizine 5 mg daily to relieve itching. Consult your physician for prescription.
- Apply permethrin cream neck to toe daily at night.
- Bathing in dettol liquid water.
- Washing the clothes and towel in hot water.
- Treatment of nearby contacts.
- Continue treatment till the cure.
- Repeat treatment on relapse.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel
