A member asked:
I have a 15 m/o who has a rash and itches a lot. the doc prescribed a cortisone cream for itch and a cream to treat scabies, we applied meds as prescribed. house and bed was treated accordingly, but she still has the rash & itch. worse after bathing?

Some basics: The rash of scabies is a combination of factors. The mite burrows under the skin disturbing it. The body also reacts to mite feces left in the burrows with an allergic rash. Clearing requires both death of the scabies & a calming of the allergic response. The process can take weeks. A warm bath increases itching, cool water does less.

What can be done about itching in skin folds? The itching is more intense when bathing in warm water. Medicated talcum powder gives only temporary relief. Antibiotic ointments only seem to make it worse. Cortisone cream has no effect one way or the other.
