Question 1

Accepted Answer

Scabies Treatment: You need to see your physician for  treatment of scabies. Some prescription medications for scabies include: Permethrin, crotamiton, lindane &amp; ivermectin. Your physician can determine what is appropriate for you.

Question 2

what is an effective way to treat your vehicle for scabies/head lice?

Accepted Answer

General cleaning: With lice, only areas where the head has touched are at risk. Would wipe the area down and vacuum it. 
With scabies it is spread to the environment with direct skin contact. It is unlikely to be an issue in your car. Would recommend general cleaning to the areas as well with wipe down and vacuum. Extreme cleaning in either case is not necessary or indicated.

Question 3

something has been biting me for over 3 years now my face head neck entire body hav been treated for bedbugs and scabies no change?

Accepted Answer

Biting: Rather than considering bugs that are causing your problem think about hives as a possible cause. Hives may be caused by the warmth while you are sleeping. Try taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) before bedtime to see your response. You can also try sleeping in a cooler room if Benadryl (diphenhydramine) doesnt work.

Question 4

hi i'm a 32 year old female. i currently have scabies as diagnosed by my doctor.. i have them all over and especially on neck, face and scalp.. how will i treat my scalp as i have very long hair and doctor told me not to put treatment on my head, even if

Accepted Answer

Oral ivermectin?: There's no obvious reason the treatment (probably permethrin or lindane) cannot be used on the scalp, but it should be kept out of the eyes and mouth. Alternatively, if necessary, scabies can be treated with ivermectin, an oral treatment effective in a single dose. Discuss both options with your doctor.

Question 5

will a cell blood count test diagnose scabies and pubic lice i read on the internet that scabies come out from the pores from the nose?

Accepted Answer

Skin scrapings: Scabies is generally diagnosed by the history and appearance of the skin, confirmed with a skin scraping and microscopic examination.  Pubic lice can be visualized by the naked eye for diagnosis.  A CBC would likely be unhelpful in determining these sorts of problems.  Scabies live under the skin of any part of the body, usually spots that are protected (in skin folds, under the waist band, etc.)

Unrelated: Your recent encounter with scabies and color change of the glans are not related. The change in color is not meaningful to your health.

: Scabies can be transmitted with using the same bed, towel, comb or any thing of personal use. It can cause intense itching then rash and blister.

All beddings, shoes which can not be washed, put sealed bags for 6 weeks
