Patient's question:
What medicine can be used to kill scabies eggs? I work in an entertainment place and didn't notice it, but 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 wash between my legs 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, then apply sulfur ointment repeatedly to the base of the hair. This method can effectively eliminate the mites and their eggs. Additionally, your underwear, personal clothing, and items like bath towels, bed sheets, and blankets should all be boiled in hot water. High temperatures are necessary to completely remove the eggs, as failure to do so may lead to cross-infection and exacerbate the condition. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. If you have a partner, they should undergo the same treatment.
