How do you heal your skin after scabies?

Could you pls advise?

Two months ago, I suffered from scabies after a holiday. The problem was all over my legs. Then I saw my GP, got some medicine and now the doctor said the scabies have gone. I don't feel itchy anymore.

However, now the skin on my legs looks very bad. I have to wear trousers to hide all the spots. 

Is there anything that helps to heal my skin, so that it looks normal again?

My sincere thanks,

    I would say you have them again unfortunately. But start with coconut oil and see they, sufficaticate from that and that's how you will know if you have it again...

    I hope you are healed now.

    i was going to suggest oatmeal baths and a good lotion like gold bond or coconut oil.
