Can I get medicine to get rid of scabies from a pharmacy or do I have to go to the doctor to get a prescription? All I can find at Wal-mart is lice medicine.

You must see a doctor and get a prescription.
Scabies are not affected by lice medicine.

Has she been treated? Hopefully, she has been. I know from experience that even after treatment, you can continue to itch for a few weeks. Untreated scabies is pretty easily spread.

Yes, you must go and see a Dr. to get a cream. Then you need to start cleaning your house. Wash ALL bedding...Place pillows, stuffed animals in to a dark plastic bag and store them in the garage for a couple of days. Whipe everything down with a water/bleach solution. Good luck!

I think u have to go to a doctor...my daughter had this and we didnt know about it, so she passed it on to everyone in the house, so the sooner you can get some medication, the better, and u do have to clean all the bedding before u lay yourself or your child down again, cause if not, itll never go away, and its a really uncomfortable feeling having to scratch all day....

I had this when I was young - from a swimming baths. I seem to remember an ointment called fucidin, which my mother got from the chemist.
But Ive no idea whether this can be bought straight from the Pharmacy.

go get you some hydrocortisone anti-itch ointment, better yet if you can find it with steroids in it.
