I do not have any itching but I do have a crawling feel all over my body including my scalp, ears and nose. These tiny bumps keep showing up all over my body. My cat is also itchy but did not find any fleas on her. image

    do not use permethrin on a cat it could KILL the CAT and is highly TOXIC FOR CATS. You can do a dip (ask a vet or pet store for their recommendation) for the cat and maybe it will slow down and clear up. if not see a doctor and see what they say. it may not ne scabies. i hope not. good luck.

      unfortunately me and my family have had then for 6 months. Permethrin i dont know how many times. trying ivermectin for the third Time now. two days back to back, While one of those days being permethrin cream as well. I am also cleaning like crazy and doing laundry like crazy. We are also using your neem oil in lotion and Teatree oil while on off days. I saw someone on here that used ivermectin and as a topical they used half whatever oil and half Tea tree oil and said it worked.

      i wish i could be more help

      The edge is worse after a treatment because they might die under your skin and your body reacts to the residue of the dead mites.....
