have just recently been diagnosed with scabies. its been 2 weeks. Did the premetrin cream but it didn't work. I started blistering almost immediately after using it. Nothing helped. I finally asked my doctor for in ivermectin. I took one dose of five pills and saw an Improvement immediately. My blisters have stopped appearing and the rash seems to have dried up. It is still very itchy at night however. my question is how do I know when the scabies are finally gone? Is there a blood test or something I can take to see if they'd gone? also I have been washing everything, bedding, clothing, towels every single day. how long do I have to continue that? any info will be appreciated. I will do everything in my power to not get this horrible thing again
