WALK-IN CLINIC Rx: YOU CAN TRY TO GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR ANYTHING IN A WALK-IN CLINIC. BUT I AM SURE YOU WILL HAVE TO REGISTER, FILL OUT SOME FORMS, GET AN EXAMINATION, AND PAY A FEE FOR SEEING A PHYSICIAN. BEST LUCK

OTC, no Rx needed: You should be treated for scabies without waiting for symptoms, and permethrin is the best treatment. You can purchase it over the counter, no prescription needed. Several brands are available -- explore the pharmacy shelves or ask the pharmacist for advice.

Yes: The treatment of Scabies includes treating those who have had close contact with an infested person, even if there are no signs of infestation in the exposed individual. A primary care doctor (available in most walk-in clinics) can provide appropriate treatment. Please see a doctor soon.
