I and my brother had scabies 2 months ago .The doctor prescribed gamascab (lindane) which both of us used 3 times in a row and got rid of scabies. But now due scabies manifestation everyone in family has scabies and I am encountering it for 3rd time. So please consult me with safest treatment as I read lindane is very harmful and possibly carcinogenic. Thankyou.
