I Have Been Diagnosed With Scabies I Have Washed With
I have been diagnosed with scabies
I have washed with sulphur soap and made one application of Permethrin 5% from head to toe. then showered after 12 hours. The doctor has said to apply twice a day although the leaflet says a second and last application after 7 days. Is the doctor right?
Also he has prescribed me Gupison (Prednisolone 5mg) and to take 10 mg twice a day after meals. I cannot see a link between this medicine and scabies
