Treatments, Causes, and Symptoms of Scabies
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness
With 2500 years of recorded history, scabies has been around for a long time. It’s amazing that not everyone still gets this disease! Let’s take a closer look at the causes and treatments of scabies.
You can pick up scabies from just about any infected surface or person. It’s relatively easy to transmit, but hard to get rid of. The adult mite burrows underneath your skin, where it eats skin tissue, lays eggs, and lays waste. The tunneling is worse at night, which makes your skin feel very itchy.
Scabies usually prefers to enter your body through proper wrinkled areas. From there, it will spread through scratching to other parts of your body – the worst is scabies on face. You don’t usually have symptoms for the first few weeks. However, you are still contagious during this time.
For this reason, it is important to treat everyone in the household at the same time. There is a very good chance that other people who share the same linen and towels as you do are also infected. If not everyone is treated, you risk reinfecting each other.
Treatment options are usually limited to prescription creams. These are generally effective, although they are a little expensive. You have to apply them as directed. Most of the time, this means that you apply them to your entire body. You also need to use the cream the right amount of time. Otherwise, you don’t kill all stages of the mite.
There are less expensive natural options available. However, these have varying effectiveness. Dermisil for scabies is an all-in-one solution for treating the bug. There is also tea tree oil, Neem oil, and sulfur powder. Some people just find that swimming in a highly chlorinated pool in the sun all day gets rid of their scabies. However, this may not always be possible for you.
