Fastest Way To Get Rid Of Scabies

By:


If you are looking for the fastest way to get rid of scabies, the truth is that a multidimensional approach is best. Although there are some very effective insecticides which will kill the scabies mites, reinfestation is surprisingly common and will happen if you do not take precautions.

Scabies is characterised by intense itching in the areas populated by the mites. Scabies burrow through the skin and lay their eggs under the surface. They tend to seek shelter in the less exposed areas of the body, such as between the fingers and toes, in the armpits, and around the genitals, although they can appear anywhere.

One of the fastest ways to get rid of scabies is to use prescription strength Permethrin cream all over the body. There will be directions on the pack, but you need to cover all areas, from the neck down to the feet, taking special care to massage the cream in thoroughly in the most affected areas. Often, it is recommended that the cream is left on for 14 hours and is used weekly. It is absolutely essential to treat all family members at once and, most importantly, to wash all soft furnishings, towels, bedding and clothing where the eggs and mites could be living.

The highly contagious nature of scabies means that any person left untreated correctly could easily pass the mites on to a treated person and so meticulous cleaning and cream application is vital.

Many people feel uncomfortable using strong insecticides on the skin, particularly on children and the elderly and there is evidence to suggest that these can cause irritation and burning. Although very rare, some people can experience a severe allergic reaction. Although Permethrin can be said to be the fastest way to get rid of scabies, there are a number of natural treatments which work within similar timescales which many believe to be kinder to the skin.
