hello,welcome to healthcaremagic

for your information, i would like to tell you that eczema/dermatitis is NOT a permanently treatable conditions

eczema is a type of hypersensitivity reaction that occurs due to exposure to certain substance or antigen. for eg- pollen, detergents or in some cases even water.

best treatment is AVOIDANCE of antigen.

however if ever u develop exposure or dermatitis, you need to take the drugs prescribed by your dermatologist.

for itching u can take anti allergics like levocetrizine.

now for scabies treatment is 2%permathrine application on whole body for 12 hours including those of your family members.

i hope i solved your doubt.
thank you.
