Therapy for scabies, see there. In addition, intralesional injections with triamcinolone acetonide (e.g. Volon A diluted 1:2 with LA like scandicain) every 2 weeks until the skin lesions subside. Alternatively: potent glucocorticoid ointment under occlusion like 0.05% Clobetasol (e.g. Dermoxin ointment) for 1-2 weeks. With persistent foci possibly excision.
