- Scabicides are the products used to treat scabies. These lotions or creams will be prescribed to you by your doctor. The lotion should be applied to a clean body from the neck down and remain in place for the required amount of time before removal. For infants the cream will also be applied to the head and face. Always read and follow the instructions carefully.
- Oftentimes infected sores will appear as a result of the excessive scratching. Prescribed antibiotics may be needed.
- To prevent the spread of scabies, all clothing, bedding and towels used by someone with scabies should be disinfected. This can be done by having the items dry cleaned, washed in hot water and dried in hot dryer, or by placing the items in bag for no less than 72 hours.
- The itching from scabies is actually an allergic reaction to the mites and their excrement, so itching may continue even after the mites are destroyed. If you are still suffering symptoms 2-3 weeks after treatment, you may need to be treated a second time.
The Scabies Rash is hard to miss. It is most frequently found between the fingers, and on the wrists and ankles, but it can appear elsewhere as well. Scabies Rash can be determined by Doctor in several ways if your rash that's making you itch so much.
