scabies, cleaning or change of environment is key

If you have been diagnosed with scabies do not believe that just using Permethrin Cream and Ivermectin will cure you. I had a moderate infection and my doctor told me nothing about cleaning my house bed and car. So the first round of permethrin and Ivermectin did nothing and I suffered with the mites and symptoms for four weeks when every doctor told me two weeks max.
Mop your hard floors wood and tile with boiling hot water. Assume they are everywhere. I boiled my clothes too which ruined some and ruined some sneakers. But the boiling was the turning point and I'm glad I did it. I bought a turkey fryer with a propane tank because boiling all my clothes indoors was too much for my landlord. Turkey fryer cost $70 at Lowes and propane tank another $50.
If you have permanent carpet you may want to move to a hotel or get out of there for at least three days as the mites cant live past three days without a meal.
The Permethrin cream should be applied more than just once every two weeks as my doctor said. If you can get your hands on more apply it more. I went to a third world country and no prescription was necessary and I applied it every day for three days without any side effects.

i also find wearing socks and disposable gloves to be helpful for preventing re infection. i cover my work chair in plastic and change clothes before i sit on anything else.
