any home remedies for scabies?

Answer 1

Not specifically a home remedy but a non-toxic, non-pesticide solution to scabies is a product called Kleen Free. It is an enzyme that has been tested and proven to help get rid of scabies.

Most of the creams prescribed by Dr's will have some type of pesticide in them and many people don't want to put pesticides on their body.

Kleen Free is a liquid concentrate that is added to the bath, the laundry and used as a spray. Because it is non-toxic, it is safe for repeated use (unlike pesticide creams) and it is safe around children and pets.

Household Remedies Scabies

Answer 3

If you suspect that you have scabies, see your doctor as soon as possible for treatment. Delaying treatment increases the risk that the scabies mites will spread to other people. Scabies will not go away on its own.

Scabies can only be cured with prescription creams or lotions. Nonprescription medications are not strong enough to kill the mites.
Most creams or lotions are applied to the entire body from the neck down. On infants, the medication is also applied to the scalp, face, and neck, taking care to avoid the area around the mouth and eyes. The medication usually is left on for 8 to 14 hours and then washed off.
Children can usually return to day care or school after treatment is completed and the medication has been washed off. Treatment takes 1 to 3 days depending on the medication used.
Your health professional may recommend that you be examined 2 weeks and 4 weeks after completing treatment to ensure that the scabies has cleared up.
Persistent nodular scabies may be treated with injections of steroids into the nodules. In rare cases, coal tar products are applied to the nodules.

since scabies can become a chronich thing and it is highly contagious, you should consult a licensed physician. Sometimes I know, if you just call the doctor and explain your dillemma "___ has scabies, I was wondering if you can call in a prescription for me at walmart? As I am having trouble getting in to see your clinic" . Sometimes they'll call a prescription in for you and you can go pay for it and pick it up. It's usually mite cream anyway. Also you could go into the clinic and ask if they have any samples of medication, They know people aren't loaded with cash, usually people will be very understanding .

Answer 7

Of course ! You could always buy lice shampoo at the a pharmacy, but for alternatives : 1. try a sauna, 2. rub peppermint extract on your skin 3. rub sulfur on your skin 4. or, rub Borax on your skin ......
When I was growing up, people used turpentine or kerosene on their skin for treatment of lice and scabies. Those items would not be considered safe in today's world. Good Luck !

Treatment
Topical (surface) medications are often effective and must be applied thoroughly to all skin from the face down, especially to areas known to be primarily affected (skin folds, etc.). The topical medication of choice is 5% permethrin because it is safe for all age groups: it should be applied for eight to twelve hours (overnight is the most convenient) then washed off.

Lindane (hexachlorocyclohexane) creams or lotions are considered historical treatments, and should be avoided because they have been shown to have neurotoxic effects in children and infants; Lindane is no longer available in the UK or Australia, but is still available in the U.S.. Similarly, 5–10% sulfur ointments are considered historical. should only be started four weeks after treatment.

Although the mites are rapidly killed by treatment, itching can last for up to four weeks after treatment. A single dose of ivermectin (dosing: 200 µg/kg) has been reported to cure, but is an off-label use; some authorities recommend repeating treatment at 14 days.

Additional topical treatments include 10% crotamiton (except to eyes, nose, mouth), 25% benzyl benzoate cream or lotion.

A person can be reinfected with scabies: all household contacts must be treated simultaneously, even if asymptomatic.

The following is a treatment list in the order from most harmful to safest.

Lindane: (Kwell, Kwellada). It has been linked to 17 deaths by the US government FDA (3 were positively caused by lindane, although lindane was not used as prescribed in those cases).[1]
Malathion: Common pesticide, nervous system toxin in high quantities, no known mutagenic or carcinogenic properties in humans have been confirmed.[2]
Permethrin: Another pesticide, lacks carcinogenic testing in humans although animals test showed negative, toxicity may resembles allergic reactions. [3]
Crotamiton (Eurax ®): Less toxic, but less effective. Must use for roughly 3 days. [4]
Benzyl benzoate: Less toxic, but can cause asthmatic and allergic reactions. Must use for a week on 1st, 4th, and 7th day.[citation needed]
Ivermectin (Stromectol ®): Oral dewormer. Newest scabies treatment. Safer than all of the above and easiest and quickest to use.[citation needed]
10% sulfur ointment: Safest treatment. Non-toxic. Used in pregnant women and infants under two months of age but effective in everyone if used for 7 days. Cheapest treatment. Over-the-counter treatment. May be used as often as one likes with no toxicity. Drawbacks: messy, stains clothes, therefore one shouldn't use white sheets and T-shirts.[citation needed]
Steroids or corticosteroids should not be used to combat itching. These can cause a weakened immune system creating various new diseases and the worst type of scabies. Options include antihistamines such as cetirizine. Prescription: Doxepin (oral or topical).

Without a host, scabies mites survive for a few hours in the environment (the mites rapidly dry out). Therefore it is recommended, after treatment, to wash all material (such as clothes and bedding) that has been in prolonged contact with the infested in the last four days.

Approximately 300 million cases of infestation with scabies occur worldwide annually.

Scabies also occurs in dogs; see article at Mange. Dog mites can easily be transferred to humans. Although mites that infect dogs are not able to complete their life cycle on humans, they will cause quite a bit of itching before they finally die. Dogs with mange should be treated to avoid continuously re-infecting humans.

Bird mites have also be noted to cause a similar disease.[1]
