How Can Scabies Be Treated?
I have been house bound since August. I have scabie mites and I don t want to spread them. I have tried permethrin 4 times. Didn t work. I have paid alot of money to companies who claim there product kills scabies. No luck there either. I have tried so many home remedies, still no luck. Two days ago I mixed 3 parts wafter and 1 part bleach, and I sprayed my body after a shower from my neck down. So many little black dots came out of my skin. It was horrific. Same thing the second day. I m thinking these dots are scabie eggs. My question is do you think I can safely continue this treatment for a week?

Hello,
As the first line of management, you can try Permethrin lotion for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
