Treatment of SCABIES
- Scabies commonly infects the entire family so treatment of the whole family is usually necessary.
- There is no known home remedy for the treatment of scabies.
- Creams and lotions used to treat scabies are available by prescription only.
- On the day treatment is started, items which can be washed (clothing, bedding, towels, etc) may be washed in hot water and dried in the dryer. Clothes that can not be washed may be ironed or dry-cleaned.
- Furniture and carpets should be vacuumed and common surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected.
- Items which can not be cleaned or washed may be sealed in a plastic bags for 2 weeks.
- Brushes and combs may be soaked in hot water (at least 130 degrees) or alcohol for at least 10 minutes.

First you need to get an acurate diagnosis and then get some prescription medicine to take of whatever is going on. If it is scabies you will need to launder all your bedding, clothes and towels etc as well as vacuuming your mattress etc. Also if there are others that live with you; you will need to do the same for their bedding and clothes etc if it is scabies as this contagious. See a doc for an accurate diagnosis.

Supposedly I had scabies (although I think I was misdiagnosed). I would definitely go to your doctor because they will give you a cream. You put it all over (and I mean ALL OVER) and wait until it dries. You leave it on for so many hours and then wash it off. Then repeat. Its a ***** but it kills them all. It cleared up whatever I had.

Go see a dermatologists. They will prescribe a cream called ELI MITE CREAM. This will kill the parasite but you will have to apply this cream several times.( F.Y.I. the Quail cream some one told you to use is for lice or crabs. )
