I'm surprized the MD didn't give your an Rx.The family member who's immune system is suppressed is at risk of a very bad infestation, You really need to be aware that you could already be infected Please be you could have mites already and won't display symptoms for about 3 weeks, maybe longer.

Unfortunately scabies is very very difficult to cure.. see a dermatologist and get prescriptions for as many treatments of Permethrin 5% .If you have any pets they need to be treated too. close contacts live-ins? All the things need to be rechecked in your house. You can also look into other forums for the treatments and cures.

The caught these mighty creatures long time back and didn’t know what had actually hit me. Scratching just make the situation worse ...I was using my hairbrush to scratch myself real good and I had them everywhere. I was very very careful with my bedding and all...basically everything. I had got rid of this somehow at that time and once again I seem to have this I please need advice on this

Curing scabies with out prescribed or recommended drugs has not yet been possible. Still one can take some measures in order to prevent the re infecting of the family or them selves

There is another solution I found to deal with the mites in the car, though a bit expensive, co2 carbon dioxide tanks in your car. let a 20 lb. off at night time and let the car air out in the morning. Be careful not to breathe that stuff. It is deadly. You can repeat this weekly for the mite eggs that hatch out.

I do not have scabies,I have read so much on this forum and I have become more and more careful with my skin,I am infact very curious to know if there is any particular cause for scabies?
