A member asked:

What are the foods we need to avoid while having scabies on order to avoid itching?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No food restrictions: There are no additional food restrictions for people with scabies. If a person had no prior problems with any particular food or drink, he should not have new problems with that food or drink just because he now has scabies or is healing from scabies.
