Suggest Treatment For Scabies

Hi, I have been diagnosed with scabbies and I have taken more than 15 treatments of permethrin, without any sucessful result. However the condition has improved, it has concentrated in the eyelids. I have noticed the improvement after start taking minerales and food supplements. Could be possible that I have a condition with my immune system and for that reason is taking me ages to get rid of the scabbies? What can I do? I feel very down. Many thanks.
