What is the best cure for scabbies?
484842
Scabies is an infestation of the skin by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Transmission of scabies is usually from person to person by direct contact. Itching is often severe and usually worse at night. There are no effective over the counter cures. The best medication is permethrin cream (Elimite), which is available by prescription. It kills the mites quickly, but sometimes the itching continues for days to weeks until the skin irritation/inflammation resolves. During this period, use cool water soaks, Calamine lotion, and antihistamines to soothe the skin. Because scabies is transmitted by close contact, all members of the family and close contacts should be treated at the same time to avoid cross contamination and reinfestation. For the same reasons, use hot water to wash all clothing, towels and bedding that you used before treatment.

Yes, it's an old cure, but true. Use prune juice and apple juice. Avoid feeding him cheese and milk for a couple of days. Raise his intake of fiber by adding more raisins, carrots and greens, and whole grain bread. Also a small amount of caffine, such as found in green tea will help!

Depends how large a section is scabbed up.  For small areas keep them dry.  For large areas put on patroleum jelly or some type of oil.  The reasoning behind this is scabs are not elastic like your skin so if you have a large section that has a scab everytime you move it it breaks open and you have the problem all over again.  If you apply an oil based solution such as olive oil or patroleum jelly it keeps the scab more elastic and it doesn't break as easy so it allows it to heal quicker.

1) Aspirin\n\n2)Penicillin\n\n3)Small Pox Vaccine\n\n4)Viagra - just kidding\n\n5)Hand Washing\n\nThe greatest I suspect is small pox vaccine.  The reason that I say that is prevention is better than a cure.  Remember the saying:  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Put some ice on it.  That will help soothe it.  If the skin is damaged try some Neosporin.

If it's a big scab and you are worried about it scarring... Nesporin. Also every day, rub Vitamin E oil into it, and keep it out of the sun, if it's not in a place you can cover with sleeves or long pants, keep sunscreen on it twice a day! DON'T PICK AT IT!!!!

Tip 1:\nMix ½ tspn of Baking soda in 1 glass of water. Sponge the person with this. When soda dries on the skin it controls the itchiness and irritation.\n\nTip 2:\nPure honey smeared on the scabs helps in clearing up scars.\n\nTip 3:\nApplication of Vitamin E oil helps and has a healing effect. The scars fade away very quickly.

Witch hazel and cortizone are the two most effective treatments. Surgery may sometimes be necessary in extreme cases. There is no CURE as they are just lesions which can be caused by many different things.

sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol pop it if you can stand it pull back just a little of the skin and put some neosporin anti scar on it.. the anti scar works faster at repairing skin tissue and doesn't burn like liquid bandage

coco butter is the "standard" strech mark cure.  Some of the scare remover creams work much better though.

Also, you can look to see if there is one puncture wound or two.   one, being the tounge of the misquite and the two puncture wounds being spider fangs.\n\nMy solution for itching: make a paste out of baking soda and water, and apply it to the ichy area.  it is short term relief, but it does help.

Hey AL\n\nHere are some remedies.\n\nCause \nWarts and moles are usually the result of a nutritional deficiency and they should be treated internally, as well as externally. \nPotassium deficiency. \n\n1.General Information for Warts and Moles: The warts, moles and skin blemishes are helped externally and are often cleared up by using the white milk from dandelions and/or from milkweed. Applying castor oil or garlic oil to the area several times a day and taping a piece of gauze soaked with this oil over the wart during the night will aid in clearing the condition. The use of a clove of garlic cut in half (or mashed or grated) and kept over the wart all night until it is gone has aided many. Black walnut tincture and the following combination tincture have been used with such success that a number of people swear by them. The combination tinctures consists of blue vervain, black cohosh, blue cohosh, skullcap and lobelia herbs in equal parts, using 90 proof or stronger alcohol as a base. \n\n2.More General Information for Warts and Moles: Use the mucusless diet and add plenty of raw carrots, kelp, dulse, or sea weed and onions to the diet. \n\n\n3.Garlic for Warts and Moles: Here is a very successful routine for removal of these unwanted growths called moles, or warts. Take a button of garlic, slice or cut in two, and placed the cup area over a wart of mole. Tape it on, and as it dries out put a fresh piece. Many users have reported good results. \n\n4.Potassium Deficiency for Warts and Moles: When cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating.Potassium sources: There are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium. \n\nBest of health to you
