Hi
You seem to have taken adequate treatment for scabies but still the problem is persisting .
You can try alternate agents like gbhc or crotamiton .
Re infection from another infected person can be a cause .
You cab additionally take oral ivermectin along .
Discuss these options with your treating doctor ,I am sure they will help .
