Currently three main types of solutions are used for scabies. All are applied to the whole body except the head and neck, and all whole family should be treated.

*Permethrin
*Benzyl benzoate emulsion
*Malathion
*Sulfur
*For young children with scabies

Method

*Apply a thin layer of cream from the neck down avoiding the face and scalp before going to bed
*The cream should be applied between the fingers and toes and beneath the tips of the fingernails (the eggs may be under the nails due to scratching)
*Wash off with soap and water 8-12 hours later

The permethrin cream made me feel radioactive, it seemed to work for a couple days hten the scabies mites would come back. I have been trying sulfur lately, I will post how it works.
