Suggest Remedy For Scabies
My husband has just recently been diagnosed with scabies and we both have been treated recommended by our dermatologist to use premethrin cream for 8 to 12 hours and then clean all bedding and clothing and furniture and then wash this off of our bodies. However my husband still has the itch terribly and we want to know if there is anything we can use to stop the itching either by mouth or on his body?
