I was affected to Scabies and two different lotions are used. That is Benzal (two days in twice a day) but again I felt itchy so I use P-Scab (India- Five days evening). Now I am 99% ok. Still one or two sopt itching. Can I apply again this Benzal?If the dressess are pour in Dettol water, it will kill the scabies?
Hi, thanks for your query. I shall let you know some facts about scabies and its treatment:Scabies is caused by a mite which makes burrows in the skin which causes itching more at night. It is contagious infection.  It is treated with Permethrin5% single overnight application below neck(8-10 hours). Usually this cures the infection, rarely it is repeated after 10-15 days. Itching persists for 10-15 days even after application because of irritation by the remnants of dead mites.  So you don't need to repeat the application of Bengal, instead you may take any anti-histaminic like cetirizine for itching.  Detail will not kill the mite. The mite is sensitive to higher temperature. You may wash the Chat Doctor.
