Customer question:
How to destroy scabies? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Use of pediculicides
A variety of pediculicides are available, which are drugs to kill lice. You can buy these at a pharmacy without a prescription. Before use, carefully read the instructions and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Some medicines are available in shampoos, sprays, or lotions.
Use of oils or other natural agents
Some natural oils, such as coconut oil, tea tree oil, or lavender oil, are used to suffocate the mites and facilitate the removal of nits. Apply the oil to the scalp, rub it gently, and leave it on for a while. Then, comb the hair well with a fine comb to remove dead dandruff and nits.
Precise hair combing
Use a fine comb called a threader to comb the hair precisely. Some combs are explicitly designed to remove nits. This process needs to be done regularly to prevent the growth of garia.
Washing clothes and bedding
Wash all clothes, bedding, towels, and other fabrics that have been in contact with infected hair with warm water. Drying at a high temperature or ironing can help destroy scabies and nits that may have found their way onto clothing.
Cleaning the environment
Clean and vacuum the environment, including furniture, carpets, the car, and other objects where scabies might be hiding. Scabies cannot live long without a host, but cleaning and ventilating the area is recommended to prevent reinfection.
Proliferation Prevention
Avoid sharing personal items such as combs, hairbrushes, hats, or clothing. Teach children not to share these items with friends at school or elsewhere.
In the case of a more severe infection or if the above measures do not bring sufficient results, consult a doctor or pharmacist who can prescribe more potent drugs or advise you on further steps.
