Scabies crawls out during sulfur ointment for scabies.
Scabies is a contact infectious skin disease caused by the scabies mite within the epidermis of human skin. It can spread epidemiologically in families and among contacts. Clinical manifestations are characterized by papules, blisters and tunnels on tender skin, pruritic nodules on the scrotum, and increased itching at night.
Scabies mites are often parasitized in the soft and tender places of human skin, and mating between male and female scabies mites is completed on the surface of human skin at night. After fertilization, the female scabies mite will burrow into the cuticle of the skin to lay eggs, which will develop into larvae after 3 to 4 days. The larvae will crawl out of the skin surface and remain in the mouth of the hair follicle, and then moult and develop into adult mites.
The sublimated sulfur contained in sulfur ointment will produce toxic substances hydrogen sulfide and pentachlorosulfuric acid after penetrating the skin, both of which can completely kill adult scabies, but it will not kill the eggs, so the scabies mite larvae crawling out of the body during sulfur ointment treatment will be killed by the drug.
Scabies patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, the contaminated clothes, bedding, bed sheets, etc. with boiling water to extinguish the insects, such as those who can not be ironed, can be placed in the sun for more than 1 week before use.
It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention and active treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
