I have eczema or scabies and am experiencing significant itching. Could you please suggest the appropriate treatment or solution?
If you have severe itching due to either Eczema or Scabies, the treatment depends on the exact cause. Scabies usually requires anti-mite treatment such as Cetrimide, Lindane or Permethrin, while eczema is usually managed with regular moisturizers, anti-allergic medicines, and sometimes mild steroid creams to reduce inflammation and itching. Try to keep the skin clean, avoid scratching, use gentle soaps, and wear loose cotton clothing. Since both conditions can look similar but need different treatments, it is best to consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and start the right treatment.
