You should discuss this further with your Doctor or Dermatologist. As for now, the primary symptom of Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei.Not always however, do the skin scraping or biopsy come back positive. It is taken and returns sometimes negative. It is possible that you may still be infested. Your Physician may want to investigate thoroughly and instruct your family members to be treated, at the same time to prevent reinfestation.Hope this answers your question!
