Post-scabies marks still persisting months after treatment

Hi everyone….

I got scabies back in August and treated it with permethrin lotion. After 2 to 3 months the itching completely stopped, which indicated the treatment was working. However, it is now May and the marks and spots left behind are still visible on my skin. The infection itself seems to be gone but the skin marks from it have not fully faded yet despite all this time.
Has anyone experienced this or have any advice?
