Answer 1

Get lice shampoo and put it on your body before going to bed and then wash it off the next morning. You man need to do this a few nights but it works.

Answer 2

If you've had scabies before, then it's easy enough to recognize, but are you sure you have it? I mean, there are other diseases that might present the same way. You should probably go to the doctor anyway just to make sure that's what you have. If it's not scabies, you'll be putting insecticide on some other condition--not a good idea.

When my dog had sarcoptic mange (caused by mites--like dog scabies), we used this absolutely vile sulfur-and-lime (the chemical, not the fruit) dip stuff on him--it smelled totally horrible and we had to wear gloves so we didn't get it on our hands. It worked, but ugh! That stuff was so disgusting. But I bet it would kill pretty much any parasite. Maybe you can get some of that dip stuff.

I got scabies from some dirty people who moved out of my old home. They left filth which I was kind enough to clean up and I unfortunately got it. I do not recommend prescription creams. I read a quote from a doctor online that said your body recovers twice when you catch scabies. The first recovery is from the critters, the second is your body recovering from the strong cream. My best advice for you is to use an alternative which will work just as well. Oil of Oregano from a health food store is supposed to work VERY well. Same with Tea Tree Oil.

In my case, I was desperate. The night I found out I had scabies, I couldn't take a shower without freaking out and itching. I happened to a notice a tub of oxy-clean powder on top of the toilet. I don't recommend this for anyone else, but Oxy Clean worked for me. The tub said not to have prolonged skin exposure so a few minutes of oxy clean on the body works. You have to wash everything you came in contact with, bed sheets, linens, pillows, clothing, towels, etc or else you'll get it again. Good luck.

Answer 4

I had scabies once and I can't believe you sat still long enough to type your question. Get the doctor on the phone and get the prescription now. No One should have to go through what you are suffering right now. There are other things and ways suggested, but they are dangerous to you.

Answer 5

I don't know if it works, or is a good idea to even try it- but I would think that the active ingrdient in Lice shampoo would work. You can get it at the drug store with out a perscription. There may even be an over the counter med for that purpose there too.

Answer 6

You need to get the correct medication from your Doctor. You and everyone you live with needs all their clothes washed A.S.A.P. Everything in your home needs to be cleaned.

My friend, just face up to it. You are going to be inconvenienced for a spell. Resign yourself to it and just do what you need to do to disinfect your self and everything around you. Better to get it over with now once and for all than to have to deal with it again later.

Answer 7

We got it in WWII and were given UV treatment, along with the usual sanitary precautions. It didn't last long.

Answer 8

dont forget to wash everything that you have had contact with as well
