This is very true, no matter how desperate scabies makes you, do not use bleach. Scabies will only get worse before it gets better in the post scabies period. You will feel like you still have scabies after treatment due to the chemical in the permethrin and the dead mites under your skin. The best thing in post scabies is to take some benadryl and moisturize your skin alot with cocoa butter. Scabies tend to be a really awful thing to deal with but jsut stick in there nad youll be back to yourself once again.

God Bless

This should be pretty obvious as typicallys bleach bottles have crossbones and skulls and stuff to keep you away, Bleach can permanently burn your skin or discolor it beyond repair. Never use bleach to attempt to try and kill your scabies, you will just further damage your skin which will make it easier for them to live on.

Make sure you use bleach when washing bedding and clothing it will help reinfestation, I found it really useful using that non smelling natural bleach that does not contain chloride, it seems to really do the trick for me as I can do alot of cleaning without being overwhelmed with the smell of bleach. I also heard that lysol sprays are great to kill scabies on walls , door knobs etc etc.

I have tried this when I was really desperate and first had scabies, I think I resorted to this after 2 failed treatments, though I was only putting a cap full of bleach in each bath and it was the natural bleach without chloride. I have clue if it worked or not as I discontinued after 3-4 baths and knew it didnt do anything. I wouldnt suggest doing this!

I heard in some cases people use tiny ammounts of bleaches in baths because scabies can create this toxic film on your skin which is like a protective layer for the scabies, this makes regular treatments very hard to penetrate to them. This is likely why people have troubles curing scabies because the skin is too thick. I would not suggest you put bleach on your skin or in a bath, there is likely an alternative that can do a better job.

I had horrific scabies in college and used permethrin and it still persisted. I know this is horrible for your skin, but I scratched open the scabies rashes and took a washcloth with bleach on it and rubbed it all over my skin, then showered a half hour later - it worked and i felt worlds better very soon after - if youve had scabies, you know how desperate you can get, my skin was fine after too.

help what do we do..... and my dog is showing little signs but he is not acting like he has anything,,, should he be treated....

I have been tempted to try this and must admit I almost did but then I stopped myself as I do not want to become that desperate as it would like just ruin my skin and who knows if it would kill the scabies. Thanks for the heads up though.

It really helped me and my kids. I tried it on me first to make sure it wouldn't hurt us. But you only use about 1/4-1/2 cup of bleach in a standard sized bath and you only need to be in it for about 10-15 minutes. It worked I only needed to do it twice and now we are all cured. I really don't see what all the fuss is about, if it's ok to swim in it should be fine to bathe in. Also a little bit of bleach in your bathe water is recommended for people who have eczema. The key is that it doesn't take a whole lot.

People do not put bleach in their pools, clearly you are uneducated as they use chlorine, there is a huge difference. I agree with Bev it sounds like your resorting to desperate measures that might ultimately result in
conditions much worse then scabies. You should consult your physician and let him know atleast.

Scabies trackmarks or burrows would look kinda like stretch marks or lines within the skin.

Just use sulfur creams they are the most effective in killing scabies.

Best suggesting thing would be a hot bath with epson salt, lavender and 100% tea tree oil...you'll actually notice with the tea tree oil added it will give that hint of "bleach" smell to it...very effective method. I told a friend who had them really bad and his dermatologist also recommended it..was pretty gross to hear that the "sand like feeling on his skin" while he was having a bath was actually the larvae dying off and secreting out of his skin!.....you can also get tea tree oil shampoo's for people that have it in their scalp..pubic area, etc.
