However, such symptoms can also occur as a result of the disease itself. Moisturisers and bath oils are recommended as follow up treatment for dry skin. The itching and a skin rash (post-scabies eczema) may persist for up to 4 weeks after the end of treatment. This is caused by a reaction to the killed scabies mites.
