Will Lice shampoo get rid of scabies?! It has the same active ingredient?

Scabies drug contain : (A) lindane 1% + usnic acid 1% or (B)permethrin. Drug contain A must apply for 24 hours every 7 days. Two times only. Brush your infection skin with soft brush when you take a bath, then apply the zalf.


Drug contain B, same do, but only for once / single dose.


Take vitamin, scabies only affected people with bad nutrition.Will Lice shampoo get rid of scabies?! It has the same active ingredient?
Yes you have to rub it over your entire body avoiding mucous membranes and the eyes. Put it liberally in the pubic area and leave it on for about 6 min. Then shower it off and I think you have to treat it like that a couple of times. Don't forget to treat the house and especially your bedding. All family members in the house should also be treated.Will Lice shampoo get rid of scabies?! It has the same active ingredient?
I would not count on it--might work though. Although it is contagious it is NOT a emergency. (might feel like one, but it's not)





I would go to regular Dr. during regular hours and get proper diagnoses and the proper prescription cream.





My family had it and the prescription cream worked effectively. You need to treat the whole family or household. Washing bedding is a very good idea,but scabies is ';shared'; by skin to skin contact.





I never heard of taking internal medication for this...I believe that answer was incorrect.





Scabies is a spider-like parasite that lives, burrows, reproduces and dies under your skin. Once you use the cream, the itching may intensify as the dead body parts are what causes the most itching.
See your doctor for a proper diagnosis for scabies, as they are contagious, and is usually treated with prescription cream, lotion or a tablet may also be prescribed.





Lice shampoo may work but it may also cause skin irritation.
I read the answers provided u from folks, about the scabies treatment. I just got diagnosed with scabies today, and did a lot of research on the internet concerning the medication, Elimite. Where lice shampoos are only 1 %. the lotion given for scabies ( permethrin) is 5 % and is therefore the only thing strong enough to kill the scaby mite. I dont believe there is anything you can take internally, to kill scabies. My druggist told me that Elimite is an excellent treatment, and is the no. 1 prescribed medication given from Doctors today for a scaby infestation. Good Luck, Loveyameanit,

I'm not sure /call the pharmacy / in your area
No, you need a medication you take internally.
nope. go to the ER for meds. you are highly contagious and can spread this to everyone you see. reduce your contact with people.
