Does sauna treat scabies? if i stay in sauna 122 f for 10 minutes, will the scabies in my body be killed?i use hair dyer to blow bumps, does it help?

Probably not: Although no one has done a study on what temperature would kill the mites and eggs, the temperature under your skin where the mite burows would not be that hot. You need to see your dermatologist and get medications to apply to stop the infestation.
