I want to share how I got rid of scabies. I read on another site about this method and it worked. I've had them twice now, so I'm getting to be an old pro. Here are my tips and the method. I had them for 8 months the first time and thought I would go out of my mind. I tried every dumb doctor's method. I had them for 3 weeks the second time after listening to Diane on Topix.com. A young doctor told her this.
1) For 10 days in a row, take 3 parts water, 1 part bleach, and after your daily shower spray and wipe it all over from the hairline down. If you prefer baths, put bleach in HOT bath and soak for at least 15 minutes. Water should smell like an over chlorinated pool. Completely air dry before putting on clothes. Use a kitchen scratcher pad to exfoliate eggs under skin. Wash it after shower. I did this twice a day for the first 4 days. 2) If you have it in your hair, take turpentine and spot treat each sore on your head. 3) I took my showers at night, because I didn't have to wash my sheets every day that way. I washed them the first day and about day 4. Never again during treatment and I'm healed. 4) You will still think you have them for as long as a year after treatment. The itch is the feces coming out of your skin. You will have pimple bumps for a long time. If you have burrows, you are not healed. 5) Never wear the same clothes two days in a row. Wash everything. If it can't be washed, put it in an airtight bag for a week or longer. I also just put things in the dryer on hottest setting for 30 minutes. 6) When doing laundry, wear latex gloves. One pair for loading machine, different pair for pulling out clean clothes. 7) Go to the CDC's website. It helps you understand how they produce. Eggs are hatched ever 1-4 days. 8) If your chair is infected or car seat. Spray with Raid spider spray. 9) Vacuum often. 10) Don't infect others if you can keep from it. They will just give it back to you. 11) Keep a calendar journal.

I agree that learning the scabies mites lifecycle is key, but using bleach on your skin is something you should never do because it is killing the layer of skin that protects your skin from infections which are more likely to happen during post scabies. I am assuming this would be a desperate attempt at getting rid of scabies since you had them so long? 8 months is a long time to have scabies without treatment so your skin would of been really thick and you probably had a hard time treating the first time you had scabies. I am assuming the second time you contracted them it was easier to kill the scabies off?

I believe I got rid of them almost immediately. A dermatologist that was fresh out of med school told the woman that told me how to get rid of them. I tried every hurtful thing to my insides the first time and it didn't work. I'm not afraid of a little bleach. I don't care how bad for my skin it may be. I got rid of those little varmints.

Why would you use bleach that wrecks your skin when you can just use sulfur products. I wouldn't advice any use bleach as it is dangerous to your skin and can ultimately wreck it forever.

Sulfur is the most effective scabies treatment and the most practical of them all as your not putting pesticides on your body and the sulfur also helps make your skin look better faster. Not to mention no itching side effects from the pesticides. End of Story.
