I'm having scabies for more than 6 months. I already saw many dermatologists and I'm not getting any better. I already used 17 tubes of permethrin, 6 doses of Ivermectin, and dozens over-the-counter medications. My skin is destroyed. I feel sick and really tired all the time. I'm so desperate and I don't know what else I can do. Please, somebody help me!

@ecaamano22 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

I certainly hope today finds you feeling better. Here is an article from Mayo Clinic about scabies: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/scabies/symptoms-causes/syc-20377378
If you have seen many dermatologists, have any of them taken a biopsy to see exactly what can be used to treat this skin condition? Do you know how you may have gotten the infection?
