Scabies

Prescription scabies treatment usually consists of either permethrin cream or malathion lotion. Doctors normally prescribe permethrin cream first and then malathion lotion if this does not effectively treat scabies. Both methods of scabies treatment contain insecticides which kill the scabies mite responsible for this infectious skin disease.

However, if you are pregnant, or the scabies treatment is for a baby aged between 2 months and 2 years, or a child under 6 years old, these creams and lotions may not be a suitable treatment. In this case you can treat scabies at home with an alternative treatment which contains powerful natural ingredients and does not cause any known side effects, like prescription treatments can. Prescription treatment has also been known to cause itching, skin irritation, numbness, and a tingling or stinging sensation. So, if you want to avoid experiencing these side effects, you should opt for a more gentle, natural treatment like Dermisil Scabies to treat scabies instead.

Like other skin infections such as athlete's foot, scabies can be very contagious. Choosing to treat scabies with a natural scabies treatment means that you can also use it to protect other members of the household from contracting scabies. Simply add a few drops of scabies treatment to your bath to prevent the spread of this condition. While using any scabies treatment, you should also regularly disinfect floors and bathroom surfaces, vacuum floors, carpets and rugs and always clean the shower or bath after every use. You should also wash any worn items of clothing, used towels and bedding in hot water and dry on a hot heat setting or steam ironing to prevent repeat outbreaks of scabies.
