It might aid in the itching but it will not cure it. It is very communicable and needs treatment ASAP. You must get a prescription from a doctor to kill the scabies. The medication most commonly used to kill the mites is called Elimite (or permethrin cream). The medication is applied from the head area to the bottom of the feet. It is left on for 10-14 hours and then washed off in the shower. It is best to apply at bedtime and then wash off in the morning. This treatment is then repeated in 1 week. This is safe for use in children as young as 2 months.

You Must clean your environement.

Wash all clothing, towels, and bed linens in hot water. Do not allow air drying. You should use the dryer.

  • Use the medication as prescribed and instructed. Do not use it more than instructed because you risk causing chemical irritation of your skin.
  • You can also treat itching with antihistamine medications such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
  • Cut your nails and clean under them thoroughly to remove any mites or eggs that may be present.
  • Vacuum your rugs, furniture, and bedding and throw the vacuum cleaner bag away when finished.thing washable.

Rubbing alcohol will not take the pimple off, but it can help to treat it. The most effective way to treat a pimple with rubbing alcohol, especially after it is popped with an extracting tool, is to rub it with cotton pad that has been dipped in the alcohol or with an alcohol wipe. The rubbing alcohol will disinfect the wound by killing all the bacteria within the pore, and closes the pore while it is clean. Alcohol can be very drying on the skin so try not to use it too often or on large areas of skin!
