If it’s scabies, you shud take stat dose of antihelminthic, permethrin cream to be used once as overnight treatment. Repeat it after two weeks if necessary, stop dermikem, if you have itchy raised papular lesions, you can use crotarax hc daily at night for a week till itching settles.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
The rash and itching of scabies can persist for several weeks to a month after treatment, even if the treatment was successful and all the mites and eggs have been killed. Your health care provider may prescribe additional medication to relieve itching if it is severe.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

All her clothes, bread spreads and blankets or any of her garments have to be washed with hot water and detergent with dettol. She should not maintain any physical contact with people. She should sleep separately and shower right before bed so application of the cream will be very helpful overnight. It will be better if she does not go to work for a few days until it settles, as scabies can spread very quickly. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a like/ thanks. Thank you.

You are suffering from what we called tropical acne. In this condition pimples erupt on the back and shoulder area followed by pigmentation after healing. The treatment is not very complicated. This can be treated with tablet cream and soap. Maintenance treatment may be required to cover for occurrence. Please don't use oil on your head. Please contact me using online consultation for proper examination and detailed prescription.
