Anything To Stop The Itch???

Question

After a lovely night outdoors (au natural in a pond) with my bf on Sunday, we both contracted scabies.

The dr. prescribed an antihistamine, but that nor benedryl, nor hydrocortizone is helping the latent itching which can last 2-3 weeks after curative tratment......

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The itch may fade faster if one soaks in a warm tub of water until the fingertips turn into "raisins," then scrub the areas that tend to itch. This will eliminate the dead mites and their debris much faster than allowing them to be shed normally. Occasional patients will have to repeat this once or twice to stop the itch.

Answer 2

What most people do not realise including doctors that toxins have only 4 different outlets in the body, the urinary tract, digestive tract, the lungs and the skin. The cream your doctor is giving you is not curing your eczema and never will, all it is doing is masking the symptoms Eczema is the result of the bbody's immune system throwing out toxins through the skin, It's crazy that doctors give you cream to suppress that and block the toxins inside the body which may build up and cause cancer. Let the toxins come out and rub fresh lemon juice on your skin 6 times a day until it gets better. You are what you eat, so look at changing your diet because many people completely cure their eczema once thy change their diet. Your diet should be more that 50% raw, or go completly raw and you will not have eczema. Research you tube for fantastic raw recipes, afterwards you will have no illness never mind eczema.

Answer 3

try the following, one doesn't work, try the other:

bathing with warm water and oatmeal.
cool soaks on the affected area and use calamine lotion after
Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat and humidity.
Engage in activities that distract from the itching during the day.

if your on medication already, all you have to do is wait untill you're cleared, though it will take several weeks, dont focus on the itching, it will only execerbate the problem. doo the things that will give you comfort, long baths, eating marshmallows or hot chocolates... things like that

just next time be extra cautious...

Answer 4

Kwell lotion works for that. It will kill the mite causing the scabies.Both of you should use it before bed time then also if you are in close contact with people in your household, you should also advice them to use. You might have infected them too.

Answer 5

are you sure it wasn't poison oak or poison ivy
