UGHHH IM PREGGO … N KNT TAKE THE ITCHING AT ALL…. MY DR DIDNT SAY ANYTHING BOUT WASHING SHEETS OR CLOTHES BUT IVE DONE IT… I ALSO SPRAYED MY BED WITH BED BUG SPRAY…I DNT WANA ITCH ANYMORE …. =( HELP!!!

I just recently went to the doctors and was told I had scabies, they prescribed me this cream. This is a horrible disease and I honestly would much rather suffer from two broken legs than deal with this.. All I can say is keep doing what you are doing, luckily my crotch don’t itch but every other part of my body suffers daily.

Well, I wrote here on September 17th, and it is now November 5th. I am still suffering from this horrid infection. It has cleared up everywhere except for my crotch. I wash clothes and bed linens every day and don’t use after washing for another 5 days, and I dryclean constantly. So much money. I am disappointed in the medical community and the pharmaceutical companies. Why don’t doctors understand that for about a third of scabies sufferers the current medications are not very effective? And you would think that the drug companies would see a profit if they developed a medication that works. Weird. Anyway, out of desperation, I have used Advantix K, a flea drug for dogs, for the creases, and it has worked before, so I am hoping it will again. Eurax has been far more effective than the 5% peremethrin creams which for me anyway, were absolutely useless, and I feel that those creams spread my infection further. The peremethrin shampoo was more effective, but very drying, although I really don’t care how dry I get, I just want to get rid of this damned infection. My partner is free because his doctor was much more proactive and agressive, prescribing stronger quantities of Ivermectin, but he no longer practices in this area, so I can’t access him. Anyway, I hope my progress doesn’t regres, and that I rid myself of this soon. Good luck to everyone!

We got scabies from treating infected kittens that we found. The kittens were covered with scabs, and too young and weak for any traditional treatment. I used Ear Rite – ear wash used to treat ear mites in dogs. A few weeks later, my daughter and I both started having itchy spots – doctors thought they were allergic reaction to something. We used prescription and non-prescription ointments – nothing worked. Especially the rash on my daughter’s face become worse. I remembered how I treated the kittens, and did the same. I used the ear wash only on the infected area, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and rinsed it off. I then used antibiotic ointment to speed up the healing. After just two treatments, the bugs and itching were gone. It took a little longer for the skin to heal. Of course, we changed all linens in our beds every day for a few days, but that’s it. The bugs are gone. The ingredients in Ear Rite are piperinol butoxide and pyrethrins – both commonly used in pesticides and also directly applied on the skin – they are used in most insect repellent sprays and liquids. The product cost a few dollars at the pet store. IT KILLS MITES, JUST AS IT SAYS IT WILL. Extremely effective.

First, I’d like to say that I am so sorry for everyone posting on this board who is suffering from this horrific infection.

I was diagnosed with scabies on June 29th, and it is the third week of September, and I am still battling the infection although it has greatly decreased.

In the mean time, I broke my old washer and dryer from constant use these past three months washing everything daily including bed linens and rugs.

I had 6 applications of peremethrin cream, two lindane applications, constant over-the-counter peremethrin shampoos (about 25 bottles), and 4 courses of Stromectol, although the first three doses were absolutely not strong enough.

After all that, I am still battling the damned infection in my crotch and behind (sorry if that is too much information), but it has cleared from the rest of my body.

The most recent form of treament seems to be helping – I have had two applications of Eurax along with 4 stromectol pills, twice within a week or so (that is two days of Eurax, consisting of 2 bottles, along with 4 stromectol pills, and then repeat a week later).

I will be repeating the same treatment next week only with 6 stromectols. I hope it works, I am really depressed by all this. Good luck to all of you.

I HATE SCABIES !!!!! D’:
MY HANDS ARE HORRIBLE INEED HELP ! IM EMBERASSED TO GO OUT WITH MY FRIENDS BECAUSE OFMY ITCHING.

I m also suspected(i.e doc didnt really told) of having scabies…it starts like this

Two months earlier…i started itching…i ignored it….but when it got worse..i researched and found out it to be a jock itch…well took treatment for it.
It nearly went away but it struck back…with a much greater then before and the otching were more intense and distrscting then ever before…(shit)..
Went to doc…without telling he gave me clotrimazole and some antifungal cream..
At the starting it really worked…but again bcoz of my carelessness..it came back…but this time itch was alittle less but it covered nearlly half the body…(even more shit).went to doc again…(w/o telling me what m i infected with) he prescribed zeroscab soap bar and a permitherene lotion(3 bottles)..i applied one of em and slept(felt good)
But the very next day itching returns(fu*k)…though the spread has stopped.
-my advice to those suffering from tenia or scabies…dont scratch…no means no..do whateve it takes(as for me it is taking all the concentration away from studies[damnit m a student])

Praying that not even my enemies suffer from this shit

Hey guys, i too caught scabies recently on a visit to the US. Luckily, as soon as i started itiching a friend of mine told me what it was. I can guarentee you that the TEA TREE oil does STOP the itiching, but im not sure how well it kills the mites & eggs. I literally dont itch after using the oil, but i still feel the mites all over me. What I can say is VERY effective is to have a chlorine bath. If you soak in your bath tub with any kind of sodium cholirde, you erdicate the mites and their eggs very quickly. You may use a half cup of clorox or any other soap power with sodium choloride. I recommend you do this for 20 mins once a day for a week, and then once every 3 day for another 2 weeks to be sure you’ve killed all the eggs. Like I said, all my itiching has stopped and the rash is going away and im now on my 2nd week.

Anyone have any suggestions for scabies. Its about to prevent me from working. Need help please.
