Salt and bleach treatment scabies

After being diagnosed with scabies (and fully mortified) I have tried everything to rid us of these little pests (I can think of stronger words!)

Washed everything a million times on HOT, two rounds of lyclear from the Dr (I'm in Europe, I'm guessing it's the same as permethrin), tea tree oil, oregano oil and various creams. I think I am nearly clear FINALLY by using the following technique...we only have a shower not bath, so instead of a bleach bath I diluted bleach and water 1:3 in a spray bottle and sprayed it all over me after the shower and allowed to air dry. During the shower i took ordinary table salt and exfoliated the worst areas with it: it stings like a B****!!! Then washed it off. My skin is so dried out but I am moisturising with coconut oil too. I only have the odd itch left and I believe this is the crap these little s**** leave behind. This combination of things is the only thing that seems to have made any difference or any progression towards recovery from this horrendous ordeal.

Wishing everyone the best of luck who ever has to encounter this! Hope this helps smile
