A member asked:
Can you self treat for scabies w/tea tree oil, 91% alcohol & home remedies to the point that it doesn't look typical and docs can't tell what it is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It hasnt been tested: Because "No “over-the-counter” (non-prescription) products have been tested and approved to treat scabies." Re: CDC website: http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/scabies/treatment.html Furthermore Permethrin cream works just fine.
