Which medicine is prescribed to a 6 week old with scabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scabicide & Laundry!: For complete details, visit: http://www.Cdc.Gov/parasites/scabies/treatment.Html child should be treated head-to-toe with a "scabicide" (medicine that kills scabies and mites). No medicine has been approved for infants under 8 weeks. But the 1st line is Permethrin cream. You also have to wash all clothes/bedding in very hot water (be careful). Please see your doctor for treatment recs.

Prescribed cream for scabies. Told to use for one week. Then when I go to use it again after a week, to also medicate my husband. Isn't it better to medicate us at the same time? Won't he just reinfect me?
