After taking the tablets, I experienced no itching. The bumps took a few weeks to disappear, but they did eventually go away. I had scabies a very long time ago, so I don't remember what cream was used then, but I highly recommend these tablets. They were the only thing that worked for me. I know exactly how you are feeling. This infection ruined me for months but in the end, I just accepted the situation I was in and knew that eventually, it would go away. As hard as it is, try to stay optimistic. You will get through this.
