It sounds like you are having a very annoying itch and feeling uncomfortable not only due to the skin irritation but also due to the secondary infections or probably the reinfestation, besides. Maybe eradication of scabies is not always that easy. Be sure to launder all the clothes, and bed linens on a hot wash to kill the remaining mites. Also, think of another treatment application one week after the first one for a better cure. If any symptoms are still there consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
