Patient's question:
What medicine can kill scabies eggs? I work in an entertainment place and didn't pay attention, and now I have this disease. I can't work anymore, and I'm always afraid of infecting my family. I'm almost crazy. I use a liquid to rub my groin every day, and I soak my underwear in sterilizing water. Is it worth it?Doctor's answer:
Scabies medication generally has limited effectiveness, and topical ointments are usually required. First, the pubic hair should be shaved off, and then sulfur ointment should be repeatedly applied to the base of the hair. This method can effectively eliminate the mites and their eggs. Additionally, your underwear, personal clothing, and items other than the foot bath towels, bed sheets, and bedding should be boiled in hot water to ensure thorough elimination of the eggs. High temperatures are necessary to completely remove the eggs; otherwise, these factors can lead to cross-infection and exacerbate the condition. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. If you have a partner, they should also undergo the same treatment.
