How can I get rid of Scabies?

It will only take a few applications of cream and a few baths.

You WILL have to go to the Pharmacy.
Go as soon as possible. Or you are going to infect everyone around you.
Talk to the drugist. GO GIT. Don't worry about being embarrassed. It is too important.
You will also have to wash everywhere you sleep,clothes,towels.
Please hurry, they will give you cream to kill them.

Good Luck

BesT Medicine for Scabies?

We Answered:

I personally had this condition several years ago. It is not always caused by being unclean or living in conditions that are not ideal.
I got it because I was living in an apartment building and sharing a washer and dryer with many others on the same floor of the building - one of the most common causes.

I went to my doctor and she told me to use Kwellada lotion which is easily obtained at a pharmacy over the counter. If it is no longer available under that particular name, ask the pharmacist what it may be called now, as I mentioned, this was several years ago and I never had any recurrence of the problem since then.

Kwellada lotion is used when you take a shower and you ensure that your whole body is covered in the lotion - it acts like a soap and lathers up similarly. Make sure you scrub all parts of your body well, especially the areas most affected. Do not scrub so hard, however, that your skin hurts. This will not help. Just make sure you shower daily and use it each time.

Also, when you wash your clothing - whether or not you have your own washer/dryer or are sharing it, make certain you use hot water for both washing and rinsing your clothing. Also, ensure you do the same thing with your sheets and any other bedding. This also kills the scabies virus that may still exist in clothing that you have worn before but perhaps not washed yet.

It took no more than about 10-12 days before I was completely free of scabies when I followed this regime.

Another thing you can do if possible, (more costly if you live in a place where you pay for your washer and dryer's use) is to run a a washer through a cycle using a medium amount of water and about one quart of vinegar with nothing in the machine - no clothes - run it empty except for the water and vinegar. This helps to rid the washer of any possible scabies virus that may still be present in the machine. If you live in a place where you share a washer and dryer, this may be difficult to do every time you wash your clothing and bedding but once or twice during a two week period should be sufficient.

If you cannot do this, then don't worry - the lotion I have recommended and by using hot water to wash and rinse your clothing should solve the problem anyway.

what is the best medicine for scabies?

We Answered:

Thenoseknows, actually knows nothing. Scabies is caused by a small mite. Usual treatment is with permethrin 5% dermal cream which is an insecticide that kills the mites. If you are allergic to Permethrin, malathion 0.5% aqueous liquid can be used.
