Scabie Cream

I was diagnosed with scabies. no skin examination done to confirm this. given the cream no relief after 10 weeks I did a thuro cleaning of all house. I work in a field corn and bean production plant that treats their product with herbicides. could I have a fungal infection? I used a jock itch spray and kinda relieved the itch ## Hello, Connie! How are you doing? Can you tell me more about the rash? Scabies are actually a skin mite and you can usually tell if that's what you have, because they get more active whenever your warm, such as while working, in the shower or under the covers. Plus they tend to move in straight lines as the burrow in the skin, so you'll notice straight lines, or angular patterns.

hi, I had a scabies attack, which i treated with permethrin lotion and accompanying oral medicines prescribed to me. However, i still have some itching and little rashes on the penile shaft and tip. Also nodule like itchy structures on the genitalia. I am aplying mometasone furoate cream, but it is not helping. Suggest a quick relief, as I am stuck in a rural area without access to doctors or good pharmacy. I have lobate GM with me as well. will it help?

Rash from my hand fingers to my upper arms around to back. Looks like tiny scratches. Went to Dr he said Scabies. I don't believe it but I got the cream. No-one else here 4 others have anything on them. I take 200 mg of synthetic and a slew of other meds. ## Hello, Joy! How are you? Has there been any change? One easy way to tell if it is scabies is to see if the rash forms patterns. They are mites and tend to move in straight lines, so you may notice patterns that look like an N, Z or W. It should also be itchy and worsen, whenever you get warm, such as when getting a shower, or being under a blanket, because the heat makes them more active. It also typically starts between your fingers, but sometimes also between the toes. The looking like tiny scratches is likely what made your d...

where caught, how to get rid of them ## I used Dermisil, a non perscription cream and also a loquid I added to my bath water. Helped with the pain and also to dry them up. They also have a spray to use on the chairs U sit on and the carpet where you normally stand. ## Scabie is a mite, a type of skin lice, they are caught from other infection people. Treatment usually requires medications similar to those you would use to get rid of head lice. Your doctor can provide you with a prescription. Most commonly used is a lotion called Lindane: And yes, all clothing and bedding needs to be washed or sprayed, to prevent reinfestation. Do you have any other questions?
