Can scabies be localized?
I have applied permethrin 5% cream twice, with a week interval in between, and washed my clothing and bedding. I have all the signs of recovering: no new burrows, can sleep at night, old bumps going away. But the thing is, even though I applied the cream on the inner thigh areas and pubic region, I didn't actually apply it directly on the genitals. Either I didn't notice the nodules there before, or I genuinely didn't know I should be applying it there as well. The nodules are still there even though I am recovering for the most part, is this normal? Should I apply the cream again even though it has already been a while since I had the treatment? Can scabies stay localized in one area? If I still had an active infestation due to missing that spot, it would spread all over again, right?
