I am treating scabies, but it's worsening. Can I apply permethrin lotion regularly and use permethrin soap daily? My doctor advised applying permethrin every 7 days, but the infection is increasing.
Do not overuse permethrin, as frequent application can irritate your skin. Follow your doctor's advice. Apply it every 7 days or as recommended by your doctor, wash clothes and bedding thoroughly, and consult your doctor again, since worsening may require oral treatment or a review of technique.
