Hi,

I have reviewed your concern and can offer an inexpensive treatment for the scabies mite as I understand your financial concerns.

If you are certain what you are dealing with is scabies you can try a 10% sulfur solution in the form of soaps, ointments, creams or other shampoos and topical treatments to get rid of these bothersome bugs.

Sulfur powder is available in most pharmacies and the pharmacist can mix a solution of anything you want up if you tell him you want a 10% sulfur shampoo or ointment for your head, body.

It is a rather smelly treatment but over time is quite effective. Finally, scabies in dogs is called mange and is a different strain than human scabies so no need to worry about cross-transmission of this.

Lice and ticks are a different matter.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
