Question

Does anyone have a home remedy for skabies? what the dr. gives isnt helping it comes back?

Answer 1

There are a few different things that you can try.

Clove essential oil.

This spice has traditionally used on the skin to treat scabies.

Clove oil has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties,plus antimicrobial activity,which is important to prevent bacterial infection from occurring in any broken skin that the rashes itching may have produced.

But having said that,clove oil can also irritate skin,so try a test patch first.

If irritation results,use a lower concentration.You can apply a mixture of 10 drops of clove oil and one cup of vegetable oil such as Olive or almond oil to the rash before bedtime.

You could also try adding the clove oil to  a mixture of half honey and half water and apply in the same one.

(caution-do not use clove oil during pregnancy).

Another thing you can try is tea tree oil.

The essential oil from this plant fights a number of parasites,including the mite that causes scabies.

to use,combine one teaspoon of tea tree oil with 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Apply liberally to the skin before bedtime.

if skin irritation happens,further dilute,the oil more.

During the day,you could also try rosemary.

This herb also fights many parasites.

Typical dosage would be.One cup of boiling water poured over 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried herb.Allow to cool,use it to wash infested skin as often as 3 times a day.

Also before starting any treatment for scabies,make sure you

thoroughly clean all bedding in your home,and during and after treatment,and if you can,even your pets bedding if you have any,and also keep an eye on your pets,as they could be the source of the scabies.

I hope I was of some help.

Take care.

Answer 3

I'm afraid that I don't have a home remedy for you but a little advice maybe. When the doctor gave you the treatment (I presume it was a lotion to paint all over your body)  did he/she also tell you that every member of the family must be treated at the same time and that all your towels, bedding, cushion covers etc. should be washed at boiling point? I hope you were told all this but if you were not this might be why it keeps coming back.

Answer 4

You are getting reinfected from somewhere or someone.

What the first answer said - ALL members of the family, ALL close associates, and your home have to be treated.
