Patient's question:
Scabies has been present for over a month. Last week, I went to the hospital, and they just said to apply Lindane cream and shave the hair.Doctor's answer:
All contaminated items should be washed and dried to kill lice and eggs. Items that cannot be washed should be dry-cleaned and placed in a sealed plastic bag for 10 days to ensure they are killed. For chairs and similar items, use general disinfection techniques and soak them for one hour, such as using 84 disinfectant.If lice are found in the hair, shave the head and wash your hair with sulfur soap. Avoid bathing for 3 days. For items that can be soaked in boiling water, it is best to do so. Boil at 60 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes.
