We just brought a baby from China that had them. The dermatologist wrote a script for a cortisone type cream that got rid of them.

Actually, there is no over the counter treatment for scabies in the U.S. You have to get a prescription. (There are over the counter treatments for lice, but they aren't strong enough to kill scabies.) You can also use antihistamines like Benadryl to help reduce the itching, which can continue for a week or two after the mites are killed. Everyone in the household should be treated with the lotion, even if they don't have visible signs or itching. It's also very important to wash your clothes and bedding in the hottest water that you can, and vacuum the house thoroughly. See the links below for more details.

Your scabies problem is a skin disease. Skin disease could not be cured by allopathic medicine and that too by external Application of medicine on skin surface. It can be cured by Homeopathic medicine. I was suffered by skin problem and an insensitive skin spot on my back and frequent skin problem on the bottom of thigh. After many years of treatment taken in modern medicine I changed to Homeo treatment. I got cured. You should meet a good experienced Dr. You should have many physical and mental. symptoms other than the skin problem. If you go with many symptoms it will help to choose the correct medicine. One medicine only chosen for all problems and not like modern medicine which they will give many medicines at a time. Mental symptoms are very important as the medicine character and your character should match. It will take More time and will be cured after all other problems are cured.

you can also use RIT its for both headlice and scabies, best bet call the doc or pharmacy its very contagious, you need to wash all your linens etc in hot water, if its your child their stuffed animals and such need to be sterilized you can put them in a plastic garbage for a few days and tie it tight it will kill off the critters.
