Worksheet for treating and curing scabies 2

Worksheet for Treating and Curing Scabies! WorkSheet for Treating and Curing Scabies An infestation of invisible mites that burrow into your skin, lay eggs that hatch, poop. salivate, multiply and itch a lot. They feed on the top layer of skin. It takes about 4-6 weeks for the itch to start after the first time they invade. That makes it hard to recall where one picked them up. If one is re-infested the itch can turn on again in 1 to 4 days. The cycle from egg to a mature (egg laying) scabies mite is 10-14 days. That’s why the treatment whacks these buggers every week, so if some more hatch you kill them before they can mature.
Disclaimer:! I cannot diagnose nor suggest treatments. I am just sharing what I did for myself and what I have read. Two dermatologists and an MD missed my scabies diagnosis, so my faith in them is not exactly solid. I found inner city clinics (or in poorer areas) see more scabies and are quicker to diagnose it and write a prescription. Suburban doctors can be clueless. I suffered for over a year until I figured it out. But other things can cause itchy skin, so if this treatment doesn’t help, see a doctor. And, of course, maybe you should see a doctor first. It’s your life, your skin, your nickel.
I am making informative videos and putting them on-line at YouTube. Find directions and sources of supplies and links to medical studies.
Itchy bumps (or scratched off bumps) can appear between fingers and toes, wrists and ankles spreading up the arms and legs, but also skin folds, belt line, thighs, abdomen and buttocks. Inner elbow and behind one’s knees.a lot of locations! It is rare that they are above the jawline or on one’s face or in the hair on one’s head. I could actually feel them crawling across my skin. And I could feel them as they burrowed in and tunneled under my skin. It felt like a dull, thin wire poking into me. Worksheet for Treating and Curing Scabies! The itch tends to be worse in the evening. It’s nearly impossible not to All the open sores from scratching leave openings for bacteria to invade, too. One can wind up with a general systemic infection.meaning the whole body has bacteria circulating around. These infected sores can itch, too! The good news is cheap antibiotics can cure this. I wound up on cephalexin for a week and the prescription was only $4! It worked Treatment:! For a mild case of scabies, shower yourself clean (including your butt!).
Then you apply 5% permethrin cream all over, from your toes to the jawline and above the neck about an inch into one’s hair. Be sure to get it under your nails, too. Leave it on for at least 8 hours and as long as 12 hours, then wash it off. It goes on like skin lotion. Do this once a week for at least two weeks. You can repeat once a week.
It is normal to have hives and redness and itching from 5% permethrin cream. Yes, the cure causes more skin suffering, so it can be hard to tell if DO NOT use the permethrin cream for head lice. That is only 1% permethrin and scabies will laugh at you.
DO NOT apply it more often than once a week. I did and never again. My DO NOT use anything stronger than 5% permethrin because it is too irritating to one’s skin. Any stronger and your poor skin will suffer too In between permethrin treatments, you can apply 10% sulfur lotion or Eurax lotion. Both help stop itching so you can sleep, and they both kill scabies, too. Sulfur is cheaper ($12 for enough to make 2.5 quarts/liters), but tends to dry the skin. Eurax is more expensive ($15 for 3 ounces) but it moisturizes and softens. I personally would not rely on them alone to cure scabies, but some studies claim they can (see my web page for more Worksheet for Treating and Curing Scabies! My web page for links on where to buy and how to mix up everything I For a stubborn case of scabies, you apply the 5% permethrin cream
once a week, but also take oral ivermectin. By hitting scabies with two
medications you are more likely to decimate them.
The ivermectin is taken on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 22 and 29 (that is 7 doses total). It’s easier if you write down the schedule on a calendar. Don’t take ivermectin more than this because it accumulates. Ivermectin pills are the easiest form to swallow, but in the USA doctors often won’t prescribe more than 2 doses AND each dose is $40 (plus the doctor’s fee). So what I did was to take ivermectin horse paste (intended for animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, etc). In this form it is $4 for about 5 doses. I have a YouTube video showing me take it. It can be mixed with jam or whatever to make it The 5% permethrin is applied on days 1, 8,15, 22 and 29 (up to 5 times).
If you are cured sooner, you can stop after day 8. I went all the way to day
29, but I had scabies for over a year before I figured out what I had, so the mites had all that time to build up. And I didn’t want to have to do this all over again! If you’ve only had them for a month you could be cured I followed the Healthy Skin Program of the Centre for Disease Control Department of Health and Families, Northern Territory, Australia.

10% sulfur cream and Eurax lotion can stop itch and also kill scabies. Nu-Stock ointment is 73% sulfur. Go to my web site for directions for making 10% cream by mixing it with skin lotion. 12 ounces are about $12. Sulfur also acts as an exfoliant, meaning it helps your skin to shed the hardened top layer that builds up when you have scabies. But it also tends to dry your skin out, which can be itchy. Applying a light oil like sesame oil (also called body oil) can help. It was delivered in a few days.
Eurax lotion is more expensive ($15 for 3.3 ounces/100 ml) but I love it because it stopped my itching and softened my skin. I had to order it from England which took 10 days to get to me in the USA.
Worksheet for Treating and Curing Scabies! Putting on either sulfur or Eurax before bed was wonderful. Once I was under the blankets the surface of my skin warmed up and somehow stopped the itching so I could sleep. I was going insane from sleep deprivation so that was a major relief.
