Hi, i'm 13 weeks pregnant and my gp told me i have scabies.is there any safe treatment, i was told to get lyclear cream, but is it safe?

Topicals safe: Most creams and lotions applied to the skin for localized problems such as scabies are not absorbed into the blood to a level that would harm a fetus.This includes scabies treatment, acne preparations etc.
