Hi..I am Dr Shruti Ghadgepatil, first a fall u need to know that scabies can be completely treated. Apply permithrine cream all over the body below the neck tonight.The whole 30 g tube has to be applied in one setting itself.take tablet ivermectine 12mg stat tonight and tablet cetirizine 10 mg everyday at night for 15days.
Next Steps
follow up after 15 days
Health Tips
wash all your clothes including bedding ,dry or iron it .family staying with you will also have to take the treatment as this infection can spread from one person to another.
