Can amoxicillin kill scabies?

Amoxicillin cannot be used to treat nor cure scabies, but it is often prescribed when you have scabies to help in the fighting off of bacteria. When the blisters form on your skin and you scratch them whether knowingly or not, you cause infection. The Amoxicillin is only used in your regime to keep down further infection with your condition. If you have scabies, I would suggest taking it while you otherwise treat the scabies.
