A member asked:
What do you suggest if my child was diagnosed with scabies. the doctor also did an ear scratching test, is this easy to treat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy treatment: Scabies is treated with a topical scabicide treatment. The medication is applied to the entire body from the neck down and left in place overnight and rinsed off in the morning. Younger children may need face and neck treatment too. All household members treated. Linens washed in hot water. May need to repeat treatment. Dr. Should advise best medication as age matters.
