Hi I am suffering from scabies in few days and lot of itching please suggest the treatment.

Question

Hello dear Lybrate user, sorry to know about ill health. Its a dermatological condition. Practise hygiene, scabies can be treated by killing the mites and their eggs with medication that's applied from the neck down and left on for eight hours. The mites can also be killed using oral medication. One option is apply a mite-killer like permethrin (elimite). These creams are applied from the neck down, left on overnight, then washed off. Do not self medicate hope I have briefly answered your query. Kindly do not self medicate, as it might be harmful for you. Take a balanced diet and adequate fluid intake. Practice relaxation and meditation techniques. In case you have more doubts or queries, please book a private / online consultation (hp0d9a is my code) so that we can discuss in detail your problems and you can feel relieved after finding your answers. Medicine can not be advised for open question, for medicine contact on private consultation. Best wishes stay safe stay healthy.
