Scabies is mainly caused by the human scabies mite parasitizing the human body and can be eradicated through medication, surgery, and physical therapy.
1. Medication: Medication includes oral, intradermal injection and topical medication. Topical medications include sulfur ointment, salicylic acid ointment, clomid cream, lindane lotion, etc. Oral medications are often ivermectin, and intradermal injections include trimethoprim. The use of drugs are required under the guidance of a professional doctor.
2. Surgery: Surgical removal of scabies nodules can be performed if drug treatment of scabies nodules is ineffective.
3. Physical therapy: liquid nitrogen freezing can also be used for scabies nodules that are difficult to eliminate with medication.
In addition, once the diagnosis of scabies is confirmed, it is necessary to immediately isolate and thoroughly disinfect the scabies patient’s clothing, and his or her life partner and family members need to be treated at the same time.
It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to standardize the treatment.
