What treatment: Using the 1% cream we use to treat head lice will not kill scabies. The 5% cream will kill it & some docs use 2 treatments a week apart to get all the bugs. The intense itching and rash is actually a skin allergy to the poop the bug leaves in its burrows. This rash can last for 6 weeks or so after all the bugs are dead.
