Patient's question:
What medicine can be used to kill scabies eggs? I work in an entertainment venue and didn't pay attention, so I got this disease. Now I can't do the training either, and I'm always afraid of infecting my family. I'm almost going crazy. I use a liquid to wipe my groin area every day, and I soak my underwear in sterilizing water. Is it worth it?Doctor's answer:
Scabies medication generally has little effect, and applying ointment externally is necessary. First, the pubic hair should be shaved off, then apply sulfur ointment repeatedly to the base of the hair. This is the only way to remove the mites and their eggs. Additionally, your underwear, personal clothing, and everything except the foot bath towels, bed sheets, and blankets should be boiled in hot water. High temperatures are essential to eliminate the eggs. Otherwise, these factors can cross-contaminate, leading to outbreaks. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. If you have a partner, they should undergo the same treatment.
