Whether scabies can be cured after a long duration depends on the severity of the infection and the effectiveness of treatment. Since scabies has a high recurrence rate, it is important to maintain an optimistic mindset during treatment and to carry out proper aftercare. Scabies is generally caused by mites on the skin, so acupuncture is commonly used to eliminate the lesions during treatment.
