What is the effective treatment to prevent scabies?

Asked by Female, 26 ยท 21 days ago

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.
