How long does it take for the scabies rash to go away once I've treated it with Permethrin cream?

I've already used the cream for three nights, I'm no longer itching but I still have the bumps.How long does it take for the scabies rash to go away once I've treated it with Permethrin cream?
You should only use the cream once a week for a total of 2 weeks.


Anyways, even after u have killed the parasites, it still takes time for wounds to heal. So I'm guessin that it'll get better over the days but it will be completely gone in 2-3 weeks.





And by the way, it's normal for yourself to be itchy and get new bumps after treatment because the dead mites are still there. It's pretty much a scabies graveyard under your skin, which still causes reactions in ure body to make even more bumps. This all goes away in a few weeks, usually along with ure bumps, unless of course you scratch them to much.How long does it take for the scabies rash to go away once I've treated it with Permethrin cream?
You should only need to use the cream once becuase it's only purpose is to kill the bugs. After that, it's a matter of your body flushing off and exfoliating the skin cells that have their bodies (and disgustingly enough, eggs and feces as well). Those remaining things are what is going to make your skin continually itch after treatment and will leave the tell-tale lines and rashes. Healing time depends on how bad your case was but it can run from 2 weeks to 2 months. Since you've already stopped itching so soon, I'd give it 2-3 weeks. Feel better!
