After treatment for scabies, it is common for the rash to continue to itch for several weeks, even though the mites are eliminated. This lingering itch can be due to an allergic reaction to the dead mites and their waste. Generally, the rash may also persist for a similar duration, but it should gradually improve over time. If the rash or itching continues beyond a few weeks, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider.

When left untreated long-term, scabies may lead to a condition called Norwegian crusted scabies, in which dense, scaly patches cover large parts of your body, rendering your skin unrecognizable. In a normal scabies infestation, you may only have 10 to 15 female scabies mites inhabiting your body; up to 2 million may be noted in advanced cases of scabies. According to the University of Sydney and Westmead Hospital's Department of Medical Entomology, if you have this type of infection, you may be considered the source of a local epidemic.
