Suggest Treatment For Scabies Infection In A Child
I just found out today my grandson has scabies. He contracted them from his school. I visit his home last night and slept in his bed. I had Mometasone Furoate Ointment USP, 0.1, Ketoconazole cream 2%, Hydrocortisone cream USP 2.5 and Ammonium Lactate cream 12% can any of these creams help until I go see a doctor tomorrow or Tuesday?
No need of so many creams just Permethrin lotion is enough. Apply from neck to toe in the night. Next day morning get bath with hot water. Repeat same once in the next week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Anusuya Ramesh
