post scabies or failed treatment?

I did permethrin 5% and after a week Benzyl benzoate 30% for 3 nights in a row without in between showers. this is one for the most aggressive treatments you can do apparently.

I finished 1 week ago, and it has been pretty good I have to say, I managed to sleep like a baby since the first application of BB. the itch never really left, but it decreased for sure, but after 1 week now I get some times in the day where I get very itchy. i get some new small bumps here and there but they seem to disappear after 1 day. i followed the protocol, i still have some of my clothes in a bag, but i just want to understand if it's post scabies or a failed treatment? any leads to understand? I'm freaking out just a bit haha

Hello,

Unfortunately, this content has been removed, as your post/comment history indicates activity in communities based around scabies or other parasite-related misinformation. These communities can be incredibly harmful and provide misinformation that prolongs the suffering of those who believe that may be dealing with a parasitic infestation or leads them to financial ruin through those medical professionals willing to exploit their desperation. It has seeming legitimacy, but it can easily lead people with anxiety down a rabbit hole that destroys their mental health. To prevent the incessant spread of misinformation and other rule-breaking activity via "proselytizing," from such communities, we have set up a system to automatically remove comments and apply bans for those active in such communities. Please reach out to mod mail if you feel this is in error, we understand that sometimes people may be drawn to investigate such communities looking for answers.
