Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Scabies And Diarrhea
Question: Yes, thank you. I have been treated with Permethrin for scabies twice, still feeling some itching under armpit, for three days since last treatment I am experiencing gas and loose stools light in color and most of the time it is more like a discharge with a few of light mustard color specks. My Dr. Told me to have another treatment 5 days after the last treatment I am concern about liver damage. Is this normal reaction to the treatment?
Brief Answer:
Permethrin is well tolerated
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can understand your concern.
It is very likely for scabies to relapse.
Your doctor has rightly prescribed the second treatment .
Permethrin is usually well tolerated and liver dysfunction is unlikely.
The loose stool will subside soon.
Post your further queries if any.
