You're welcome 😊

Sorry for the late reply.. you can wash clothes at 60 degrees or hot setting on tumble drier for at least 20 minutes to kill mites, no need to throw away

Hi If you have applied more than 8 times and still think they are there then it might not be Scabies, or you are getting reinfected. If you have had a reaction to the cream I would see your Doctor if it has been more than 2 weeks, if you are reapplying it so aften you may have caused a skin sensitising reaction Good luck J

Of course, just tell me what you've tried so far. And are you sure its Scabies? Have you had a proper diagnosis?

You are right that Benzyl Benzoate has been shown to be more effective, but it’s not generally recommended in the UK due to redness and blistering (not very nice especially for children) Permethrin DOES kill mites and eggs though, not just respiratory paralysis. But I have been providing Permethrin to patients for a long time and get little reports of treatment failure. Maybe worth a look in resistant cases though ..

Ok, so you've used the treatment a few times now, its been 3 months and still there's itching If you are sure you have applied the treatment correctly (all over the body, not after a hot bath), I would say it could be either 1. Misdiagnosis or 2. Re-infection If you are sure it is definitely Scabies (worth getting your Doctor to send off a skin scraping) then you must be getting re-infected somehow Make sure all family members are treated, all clothing and bedding are washed on a hot wash Clean all surfaces in the house thoroughly Remember itching can persist for up to 4 weeks after successful treatment I hope this helps x

Hi, it depends whether your skin was still hot or not, its not really about the moisture (although dry is best to prevent dilution) The burrows are quite shallow, and that's where we want the medication to stay as long as possible, to kill the mites and eggs If the skin is too hot, the medication will be taken deeper into the skin layers and wont be as effective I would repeat if this is the case

Hi, i think my skin is not hot, because I take regular shower, not with hot/lukewarm water. So should i repeat the permethrin tomorrow / repeat it after a week ?

Ah if it was a lukewarm shower then that's fine, it will work. Just repeat after a week :)

Ok, thank you so much for the answer

Aw it must be horrible 😢 I would suggest a repeat application if you weren’t already planning on doing so, antihistamines (Chlorphenamine is best for skin itching), maybe some menthol in Aqueous cream and cool showers.. throw everything at it 😂 Itching can persist for up to 4 weeks, hopefully it will resolve soon 😀

@@MyLovelyPharmacist thank you very much... The big takeaway from this incident for me is that I should have flagged this to a doctor the moment I had localised itching... But I thought it was just dermatitis and would go away instead it spread all over the body... Anyway now hopefully I'll manage to rid myself of these mites 🧟🧟🧟

Yes they are crafty little things.. it’s always a concern of mine when examining patients that we might catch something, but I just use gloves, get the alcohol gel and keep my fingers crossed!

@@MyLovelyPharmacist I changed the way I screened patients. I learned to always ask, "So, what brings you to the clinic today", first, before I touch them!

Sure! How can I help you?

Interesting! Do you know the name of the ointment?

😂

I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW MY SELF ....❗

I KNOW THERE IS (INJECTION'S) TO TAKE ...!!

Ha ha would you pop Amanda? x

@@MyLovelyPharmacist I’m a popper but will do it properly from now on 😂
