Scabies Treatment: Elimite (permethrin) cream is the most commonly prescribed treatment for scabies. One applies it everywhere from the neck down.. After 8 hours it is washed off and repeat in 1 week. Clothing that has been worn and sheets and used towels are washed. Any potentiallly contaminated clothes must be washed or, alternatively, they can be put in a plastic bag and put out in the sun for a week.
