Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Scabies can be effectively treated with single application of 5% permethrin to the whole body, below face, after a scrub bath and then keeping it overnight for 8 Hours.
All the clothes, bed sheets, pillow covers, towels should be washed or dry cleaned as well.
An oral antihistamine like cetrizine once daily is advisable for itching
take care
regards
