How Do You Catch Scabies Rash? (Scabies Rash)

Scabies Rash

If you are looking at how to kill scabies rash by using home treatments, one of the best methods is by using tea tree oil. If you add around 20 drops into a warm bath and soak for around 15 minutes, this can help to kill off scabies rash. The antiseptic action of tea tree oil is also excellent on skin which has been scratched and which may have scabs and lesions. In addition, you can apply diluted tea tree oil directly to the worst affected areas by soaking a cotton wool ball in the solution and dabbing the area.

To prevent reinfestation after scabies rash, good general hygiene is very important. Firstly, as the scabies mites and eggs can live outside the body, it is essential to keep nails short and clean the hands thoroughly with a nail brush to prevent mites surviving under the fingernails after the sufferer has been scratching. All clothing and bed linen should be washed in very hot water wherever possible and towels should not be shared and should be changed regularly.
