Suggest Treatment For Skin Rashes Due To Scabies
I have been to the doctors four weeks ago and after 1 minute i was diagnosed with scabies. I then treated myself with Malathion Derbac 4 times and i am still getting rashes. I washed everything i come into contact with and it just seems to be getting worse.

Hi,
Scabies is highly contagious skin disease and if perfect treatment is not implemented, the disease would not cure by root and may lengthen the duration. So, proper treatment should be taken. I would recommend you to take scabicidal Tab ivermectin 12 mg single dose and may be repeated for few weeks. Apply permethrin cream daily at night till satisfactory improvement. Take bath in antiseptic like dettol liq.
Hope this helps.
