Hi

Scabies can be difficult to treat in certain people ,especially when proper and adequate treatment is not taken .
Method of application of the medicine is very important .It has to be applied all over the body below the neck region .
Also it is important to treat all the family members and close contacts along so as to prevent any re infection.
