Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Scabies can be effectively treated with single application of 5% permethrin to the whole body, below face, after a scrub bath and then keeping it overnight for 8 Hours.

All the clothes, bed sheets, pillow covers, towels should be washed or dry cleaned as well.

An oral antihistamine like cetrizine once daily is advisable for itching

take care
