What is the way to treat scabies with peroxide?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hydrogen peroxide is not effective against scabies. In the US, no over-the-counter treatments are recommended or approved. See a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get a prescription. Good luck.

Try not to self treat with chemicals that may be toxic to your skin. Have the diagnosis of scabies confirmed or ruled out and see what the treatment options would be, your doc would be your best reference at this point.
