Scabies is a mite infestation. It can be cured by applying a cream containing permethrin or a solution of lindane. Both are effective but lindane tends to irritate the skin, is more toxic, and isn’t appropriate for young children.

What is the easest/fastest way to cure scabies?

Q: And what is scabies to be exact?

A: See the wiki page for the answer to both your questions.Scabies is a mite – Sarcoptes scabei var hominis – little tiny thing that can burrow in your skin.It is caught by contact with someone who is infected with it and has it burrowing in their skin – usually spread among family members who have close contact etc. Sharing bedding or towels can transmit the mite, but it is actual skin to skin contact that transmits it most frequently.The treatment is usually with a topical cream or shampoo. In Australia the treatment is changed on a yearly basis to counteract development of resistance.We use permethrin 5% cream or benzyl benzoate 25% emulsion. In severe scabies (norwegian crusted scabies) we would consider a systemic treatment – ivermectin 200microgram per kg orally IN ADDITION to topical scabicides.

Can you use a combination of neem oil and eucalyptus oil to cure scabies?

Q: If this is possible, can you explain what to do?if not, then can you give me a list of over the counter creams that will work and are effective?If youve ever had scabies, can you tell me how you got rid of them?

A: Scabies is highly contagious and re-infestation is one of the major problems. To answer your first question, neem and eucalyptus oil are being used very successfully…but only if you are treating (cleaning and disinfecting) your environment at the same time. Neem is a fairly strong oil so using a carrier oil will help “calm” the scent and some other EO’s (essential oils) you can use are lemongrass, cedarwood, lavender, cinnamon. The second question about OTC scabies products that work….don’t waste your time and money on head lice products…scabies is not the same. The doctor’s prescription of permethrin creams (5%) are poisons and insecticides….most often the side effects are the same as having scabies….rash and itch, and some people even have worse side effects…possible seizures, liver damage, etc.The biggest thing you can do is treat your bedding (plastic mattress cover) cover your fabric furniture with sheets of plastic and your fabric car seat with plastic or trash bags. You’ll “smother” them, the scabies mites have to have a human host in 3 days to survive. Wash sheets, clothing, etc everyday in HOT water and dry on HIGH heat. Heat at 130-140 degrees will kill scabies mites. You’ll want to make sure the neem mix is applied at least twice daily. Neem is a natural contraceptive and will not allow the scabies mites to reproduce..rapidly cutting down their life cycles.
