It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent scabies infection. If permethrin and lindane haven't been effective, it might be worth trying oral ivermectin, which can sometimes be more effective for resistant cases. Additionally, it's crucial to ensure all close contacts are treated simultaneously to prevent reinfection. I recommend consulting a dermatologist to explore more tailored treatment options and to rule out any other potential causes.
