 Re: Scabies and D-S-P cream.
When my itching first started and I thought it was scabies I did a fair amount of searching the net to see what would help. I used permethrin cream and it helped for a day or so, then it would come back worse. One thing I found online to help with scabies is to bathe with tea tree oil 10 drops or so in a tub. I don't know how often you can get your mom into the bath, but it may help if she does have scabies.
The other thing that I used is a product called Bug Arrest. This is a natural enzyme based product labeled for fleas, ticks, mites and scabies. I kept a spray bottle diluted with water with me at all times and sprayed myself numerous times a day, (especially if I felt something).
I don't know if these things can help your mom, but food for thought...
