Patient's question:
Can scabies be cured? I have had this condition for quite some time now, and every time it is treated, it flares up again shortly after. The doctors always say it can be cured, but it keeps recurring. I want to know if this condition can actually be cured—is it the doctors lying to me, or is it my own problem?Doctor's answer:
Scabies can be cured, but it requires long-term medication and perseverance. Do not give up halfway. Scabies is caused by bacterial infection and is closely related to poor personal hygiene. It has a high recurrence rate and is also somewhat contagious. In daily life, it is important to maintain isolation at work. The diet should be based on light and simple foods, pay close attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and clothes frequently, take more baths, and exercise sufficiently. Try not to scratch with your hands to avoid spreading the infection.
