How Get Rid Of Dark Spots Left By Scabies?
I ve treated scabies 3 weeks ago. I m not itchy as much as I was with the live mites. I guess it s just the allergic reaction. What I m really concerned with is the dark spots it left on my skin. They re from my breast down. How can I get rid of them?

Hi,
I can understand your concern for dark spots left by scabies.
If I were your dermatologist then I would have suggested you to use azelaic acid cream or Kojic acid cream or glycolic acid cream or licorice extract or arbutine creams at night time in guidance of dermatologist.
The most important part is to not to try to scratch the area at all as it can lead to further aggravation of spots.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem can be dealt best for future time.
Protect yourself form direct sunlight.
Take care
