Effective treatment for Scabies usually involves applying Lindane or Permethrin to the entire body from the neck down as prescribed by a doctor, often repeated after about one week to ensure all mites are killed. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe oral medicines such as Ivermectin if the infection is severe or recurring. To prevent the infection from coming back, it is important to treat all close family members at the same time and wash clothes, towels, and bed sheets in hot water and dry them well. Maintaining good hygiene and avoiding close contact with infected individuals also helps prevent the spread.

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.
