Hi,
You have not told us since how long the problem of scars you have after scabies.
In general scabies do not cause any type of permanent t scarring. So in your case also it will not be remaining for a longer period.
If I were your treating dermatologist then would have prescribed you a cream containing medium potency steroid with a lightening agent such as kojic acid or azelaic acid to reduce the marks.
Do not try to scratch or pinch the areas as it leads to further scarring and pigmented marks.
Take care.
