Suggest Treatment For Scabies For A Pregnant Woman
I was not diagnosed with scabies but believe I do have it, I have a dermatologist appointment in about a week but I suffer so bad at night with itching. Hydrocortisone cream is out of the question because I am pregnant what can I do to relieve the itch until I see my dermatologist

Hello,
You can try permethrin topical preparations which is safe in pregnancy. Along with steroid creams, lindane and permethrin should be avoided in pregnancy.
Keep in mind that all family members should undergo treatment to prevent a recurrence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
