I have been diagnosed with scabies. I've been using it for two days. Infectoscab 5% tube 30 g. I used up about 50 percent of the package by lubricating the whole body. Now I have read that you should use one tube at a time for the whole body, and not lubricate yourself every day. I am 190 cm. What should I do now? My girlfriend has been using the same drug for 2 days, also once a day. It used half the tube about 60 percent. Still itchy skin does not go away. It gets worse in the evenings.
The drug should be used once, or the therapy can be repeated after 14 days. I suggest visiting a dermatologist to verify the reported symptoms and effect after your application. If you applied the cream as recommended - in adults, it should be applied evenly to the whole body, including the front surface of the neck, the nape of the neck, hands and the plantar surface of the feet - the therapy should be effective despite less wear.
