Patient's question:
Can scabies be cured? I have had this condition for a considerable amount of time, and every time it is treated, it recurs shortly after. The doctors always say it can be cured, but it keeps coming back. 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 persistence. Do not give up halfway. Scabies is caused by a 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. In terms of diet, it should be based on light and simple food. Pay close attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and clothes frequently, take more baths, and exercise sufficiently. Try to avoid scratching with your hands to prevent transmission.
