Question

son used it as it said to the next day or 2 maybe..he has more bump breakouts..is this not working or why is there more bumps appearing just after 1 or 2 days when the whole family has use this medicine at same time

Answer 1

The drug kills the bugs in the skin but doesnt get rid of the bumps right away. Complete the recommended treatment.

In addtion to treating the whole family, wash your linens in hot water and do a general cleaning of the house. If no one has allergies to insecticide, use it around the bedrooms especially under the beds.

If you have any pets, be sure to give them the appropriate medication. Ask you veterinarian.

Answer 2

You need to retreat like a week after the first treatment. Also be sure any bedding and clothing were washed in hot hot water to help kill the lice and be sure you shampooed all of you carpet and the furniture in your house as well as cleaning his mattress and pillows and comforters etc. Every blanket that he may have had contact with and all towels and washcloths need to be rewashed etc.

Answer 3

It could be the scabies are still in the home some where. Make sure everything has been cleaned. This is a big job. Every bed, every couch, chair, floor etc. Don't forget the car.

Answer 4

Itching persists for a few days after treatment, even if the mites are killed. Wait for a week, then repeat treatment if symptoms still persist.

Answer 5

Answer 6
