I am suffering from scabies. In my whole body with excessive itching prob all over my skin. What precautions should I take to cure it. And medicine? Too.

Question

It is highly contagious. Caused by infestation of a small bug which creates burrows in the skin and lay eggs there and thus multiply. First of all. Put all your used bed linens. Towel. And other clothes into soap water solution and boil them to kill the bug residing there. Along with that take a scrubbing bath and apply ascabiol lotion / or/ scabex cream from neck to feet. Wait for 12 hours and reapply the medicine from neck to feet and wear the same cloth. Wait for 12 more hours and then at the end if 24 hours take a scrubbing bath again and wear fresh clothes and treat the cloth you were wearing in the same way (hit wash). Treat other family members suffering from scabies at the same time with you. Then only you will be able to get rid of this condition.
