just throw everything out as I do I m gonna stick to one pair of trousers one bra one ..etc I m going back to very basic living if that is gonna help me then yeah xx

The shortcut is to go to the doc, but that's not always desired by people for something that can be treated at home. In my experience, I was able to successfully treat it with natural ingredients & a strict, strict cleanliness regime, which I share below. The reason someone might want to go a natural route is because of 1) embarassment, 2) worry of the strong and severe potential side effects of the doctor-prescribed chemical treatments & of course 3) money.

I'm not a doctor so don't take this as medical advice; I'm just saying this is what worked for me. I got this "thanks" to a family member that came to visit & we didn't know he had it til later after he left. All I did was hug him goodbye. But he was pretty bad with it, we found.

1) Aggressive cleanliness. Wash things you use DAILY. Clean jeans, shirts, bed sheets, pillowcases. I washed everything fresh, every morning, before I used them during the day. EVERYTHING.

2) Wash your hands thoroughly with hot water, soap, sanitizer after scratching because SCRATCHING WILL TRANSFER THE MITE OTHER PLACES ON YOUR BODY! Try to scratch with toilet tissue if you can, then throw away.

3) Keep the areas covered if at all possible, long sleeved shirts, jeans/pants, long nightgowns or pajamas with long sleeves, to prevent giving it to your loved ones.

4) Tea tree oil... tea tree oil... tea tree oil. YES this is highly effective! I had scabies for a few weeks before I realized what it was... but once I started using tea tree oil, it was gone in two weeks.

Apply it with every itch... at night before bed... during the night (since you will probably be up scratching)... etc. Yes it is a bit strong, but it will dry up & KILL OUT the mites. If the skin becomes dry, simple moisturizer over a few days will take care of it. This is what I did. I used a deep moisturizer after the mites were gone and within a couple days my skin returned to normal.

5) Coconut & Olive oils. I am an aromatherapist & found that for me personally, by mixing about 3/4 cup of combined coconut & olive oils (bought from the grocery store & then I mixed here at home) as a base in a small jar, bottle, or cup... then using an eyedropper, about five to seven drops of tea tree oil & five drops of lavender (make sure first that you are not allergic to any of these ingredients) this makes a wonderful natural medicine for the scabies areas. I did not have orange or peppermint oils but I recommend a drop or two of each as well. I personally used the mixture several times a day when the itching got severe.

6) Wash with RID lice shampoo in the same manner as if using for body lice. Do the follow up treatment in a week (and if you're really worried about it, do another a week later. I only did two treatments.) While it will not kill what is under the skin (that's what the tea tree is for!), it will help kill whatever is *on* the skin. It is not as strong as the doctor-prescribed pyremethrin treatment (& therefore somewhat safer... read some of the side effects of that stuff!) but it will help, is readily available over the counter, & much *much* cheaper.

Have everyone in your home wash with it too, when you do, just like a lice treatment, & wash everyone's clothes and bedsheets daily too, separate from yours. Always wash in hot water, soap, & dry on a hot setting.

7) The other thing I did that helped greatly during the day with itching and also drying up the places was Medicated Baby Powder by Johnson & Johnson, with Aloe, E, & Zinc Oxide (yellow & white bottle). I would sprinkle this quite liberally wherever I itched, & even (I know it sounds funny but it worked) in my pants legs, as I had some terrible spots on the insides of my legs & on my waist. While it did not heal the problem by itself (I was doing this before the tea tree) it did help make life bearable. The tea tree though was what started the healing process, for me.

I am (happily & gratefully) scabie free & thankfully did not spread it to my loved ones.

Please help!! I have had scabies for roughly a month.. My whole body is covered.. I am almost onto pregnant and so worried I'm not going to get rid of these before my baby arrives.. I have done around 5treatments of Derbac and petherim and the hives are multiplying constabtly.. Iv had the last 2weeks off work as the spots are noticeable with my uniform and I'm scratching constantly.. I'm waiting to see the dermatologist.. My partner and son don't have them but I'm driving them both mad trying to clean and steam everything constantly!! Please help I am in years every day.. And with me being pregnant I can not take Antihistamines.. Surely someone must have fully got rid of these before??

I cured scabies after some 6 months of suffering, while some people get rid of them in a week or so (perhaps less agressive strain or some better immune-reaction). You won't find many people online telling you that they have cured scabies, because it is a slow as hell process (they will forget about them once they really know that they are free of them, and will be scared to even mention them for rest of the life) - the itch will continue for many many months after you have cured scabies, so you won't really know when you have cured them. In fact it will slowly fade in about half a year after having them, but higher than usual incidence of itch will continue perhaps for year or more (perhaps until the end of life).
The good thing is that it is curable.
I got rid using standard medicine - both permethrin and sulfur - whole body up to neck (a few days did head also) - spent a lot of money on them, did like 15 tubes of permethrin, and like 7 tubes of sulfur scabicide. Also changing clothes and bedding daily and washing more than usual. The whole family has to be treated, if you have more rooms, then sleep in another room each day. Wash hands regularly, don't expect itch to fade within days, not even weeks.

Eat a garlic clove every day
Take a parasitic cleanse with worm wood, Black-Walnut and clove. You can use a tincture of this also.
Must attack from inside and outside.

Shower with dog shampoo i use sentry pro. I wash my hair and lather body. Do not remove lather for few minutes. Use a scrubbing brush all over skin to open pores. Then on top of this lather use dr. Brohner's magic soap. It is a liquid catille soap with hemp lavander. Scrub skin with it & leave lather for a few minutes. Don't remove this lather, get a bar of sulphur soap and scrub this all over skin. Leave on for five minutes then rinse everything.

Dry off and prepare mixture of two tablespoons of grape seed oil with one drop of clove oil. You may want to prepare a whole bottle ahead of time. Rub oil from head to bottom of feet not missing web of toes or hands. In my experience you will see many mites coming to the surface of skin. I'm pale and can see them easily. Stay with this oil for about 10-15 minutes to allow many to come out. Not all will come out as i repeat this process twice a day and more come out later. Rinse your body in shower again and use bar of sulphur again to remove the oil and to coat skin. Dry off and put on clothes. Sometimes i will coat skin thinly with more of the oil to keep them from biting.
For itches i cover my whole body with sarna cream. It has helped me while i'm itching and when i put it on in the morning before work, it has kept itching to a minimum.Sometimes i don't even feel itchy for long periods of time.I bring some with me wherever i go just in casea

Cover mattress and pillows with plastic casings. Sprinkle Gold's foot powder, blue container on sheets and pillows. Keeps them away because of menthol.

Dirty laundry i keep in a large black trash bag and spray lysol in it every time i put something in. Just a little bit and mostly on the interior walk of bag. I do my laundry once a week like this. Clean clothes stay in other clean bags. I use borax, and color safe bleach.

I clean floors with pinesol or ammonia and spray surfaces with lysol.

I bathe my dogs and their bedding weekly.

Hope this helps!
The die off period is going to make you itch because of the dead mites toxin being released in your body. Look for herx reaction for more info on this.

Hope you heal soon😊

USE SALT

The permetharine does NOT work. Bleach doesn't work. Borax doesn't work, flea and tick dog shampoo (which is poinous) doesn't work. I will tell you what works. I did it and it killed scabies in two weeks.

THIS WORKS:
I had scabies after trying on a hat at a department store. That is all it takes to get them. They are persistent and do not die easily. I battled them for almost three years. ...Yes, 3 years. I tried dog flea shampoo daily with a specific ingredients in it (suggested on a web blog). I tried many different things that I read about, including things on actual medical pages. Those things helped very little, but like I said, scabies are hard to kill. They kept coming back (reproducing).

Finally, I decided to try something on my own and the scabies were gone permanently in two weeks. Here is what I did to get rid of scabies for good:

I knew that nearly anything can not live in a salt environment. I knew that scabies were persistent and they "tunnel" below the skin and cause a puss infection and just won't die easily. I knew all the things I read in blogs didn't work either. I was frustrated and angry.

So, I went out and bought #36 grit sand paper and cut it into 3 inch x 3 inch squares (it will ruin your scissors. I had to buy another pair of scissors to replace the pair that got ruined). #36 is a very large grit sand paper). I also got some large grit Sea Salt .

I put some Sea Salt in a small glass with warm water and let it devolve a bit. Sea Salt has large crystals and won't dissolve quickly, but don't worry about that, it doesn't need to dissolve completely.

I wet my head with warm water and then sanded my scalp, gently at first to get used to the pain of sanding, and then harder as I sanded my scalp where the scabies were. For me, they were on both sides of my scalp (heavily), and on the back of my scalp and down the back of my scalp toward my neck. My scalp had puss everywhere the scabies were located. I hated it! I was angry about it. NOTHING was working for nearly three years of trying to kill them!

In anger because nothing was killing the scabies, I was determined to get rid of them once and for all. I knew that sanding my scalp would break open the skin, exposing the scabies and releases the puss from their burrowing which caused the infection.

After sanding my scalp, I rinsed my head, and of course there will be some pinkish blood in the sink, but not a lot. Then I took the liquid sea salt and poured it on my scalp. Yes, you can bet it burns. But I had enough of battling scabies. I wanted them gone.

I had no idea if this would really work, but just like you, I was desperate.

So, after sanding and then pouring the sea salt liquid on my scalp, I let it set a minute until the burning stopped (it will stop burning)... hang in there.

Next, I took about a teaspoon of dry sea salt and put it in the palm of my hand and then rubbed the heck out of where I sanded which is basically sanding my scalp with sea salt. Yes, you bet that burns, too, as you grind the salt into the already sanded area of your scalp. ...It will be worth it because this will get rid of scabies for good in only two weeks. ...Hang in there, the burning will stop after about one minute.

I waited until it stopped burning, and then I rinsed my scalp clean of all salt. Then, I took a tablespoon of table salt and put it in the palm of my hand and gently covered my wet, sanded scalp with the table salt and I left the on my scalp, and then took paper towel and dabbed my head dry (yes, the paper towel will be pink-ish with blood), which then, leaving the table salt on my scalp, I let the table salt dry and fall off my head. It took about an hour for the table salt to dry and fall off my head. What didn't fall off, I went outside and brushed off the remaining table salt with my hands.

I repeated this process every other day (sometimes every other-other day) for two weeks (about 6 times total). After only TWO WEEKS is all it took. The scabies and infection were gone... for good.

I also went out and purchased 7 CHEAP pillow cases. I changed my pillow case each day. I got up in the morning and removed the pillow case, putting it in the washer where I knew it wouldn't touch anything else. At bed time, I put a new one on my pillow. I didn't wash my pillow but maybe I should have, but I guess it wasn't necessary anyway.

In two weeks the scabies were gone, and they are still gone after almost one year.

This method, although painful, but manageable, kills scabies. It might scar your scalp or skin wherever you sand, I don't know because I've never looked at my scalp to see. Scabies also scar the scalp, so I figured it didn't matter. I wanted the scabies gone. ...They are gone.

This method absolutely gets rid of scabies and infection. I had scabies bad. Not anymore!

You can reuse the same sand paper, just rinse it when you rinse your scalp. That's it.

That is how to kill scabies on your own without spending a fortune on useless junk that doesn't work. After three years of battling scabies, I killed them for good in two weeks... permanently.

I am just telling you what I did and to let others know that it absolutely works. I tried many things, and the permetharin crap does NOT work. Oat meal doesn't work, starving them of oxygen with vaseline doesn't work. Bleach doesn't work. Hydrogen peroxide doesn't work. SANDING and SALT absolutely works.

I got scabies about 5 weeks or so ago. I can't believe how hard they are to get rid of. I had thought I got rid of them and then one night about 2 weeks later, I got the itch again and within another few days, the bites and holes came. I was immediate with treating them again, but I was still getting about 4 or 5 new bites and bumps again. I've been super aggressive with them too. All I can think of is that I did originally kill all of the scabies, but apparently the eggs were untouched and then hatched a few weeks later which re-infested me. My washer and dryer are broken and I'm using the laund-ro-mat which could be where they came from originally and where I maybe got reinfested if not from the eggs. What really worked to heal them up the first time was flea shampoo which I showered with and scrubbed all the sores open with. I then was using lice shampoo at night, all over my body and leaving it on until morning. I then resorted to purchasing glycolic acid at a 70% online and would rub it over some affected areas and bumps. It really gets them, but they will sometimes jump away from it and dig into you in another area of your body. The acid is too strong to apply everywhere, so I was only able to use it on bumps. I remember rubbing it on the bumps on my shoulder and about 30 minutes later, one stabbed into me near the armpit. I had, had no activity that night so I think it just traveled from the shoulder to the armpit area. It does however, work to clear up many of the bumps and also can be used to treat the nasty purple scars when you're ready for that. So now that they have come back, the itch is just as bad as it was originally but I have a grip on the bumps and marks now because I know what they are and I hit them immediately. What I have discovered really works fast and knocks the itch out completely is a mixture of Sea Salt (a derm said salt kills them bc it dries them up and dries up the area where they feed), along with lavender essential oil (which is said to kill them) and olive oil. I also mixed in lice shampoo. I scrub the area, leave it on ten minutes and then rinse. Once the skin is thoroughly dry, apply Ret A 1%. If you can find it full strength, it knocks the crap out of this mite and fast. If not (as it is hard to find full strength) they sell it at spas, dermatologist and plastic surgeon offices which is diluted with a lotion. This makes it not so harsh to you and you can use it all over so the mite can't travel to
an other area. I also bought a sulfur mask 3.5% at Walgreens in the Acne section. I apply it to all new spots, the second I see them. I leave it on as long as I can and sometimes over night. I know that these mites can't go through clothing so at night, I am covered head to toe in clothes. I wear thick knee high socks and yoga pants, along with a long sleeve shirt should some of them be lurking in my bed. I do wash my bedding every couple days, but being that I have to go to the laundry mat, I can't really get there every day. I did go to Dollar General and buy some cheap sheets, since I do need several on hand to change my bed often when I can't wash sheets. They are under $20 for a Queen size set. Someone above said to apply sulfur lotion treatments immediately after the shower. I just want to correct that. You should wait 30 minutes after a shower or hot water treatment before applying anything because the lotions will absorb deeply when you're just out of a hot shower as your pores are open. Mites are just under the surface of the skin, so if you wait until your pores close more then you can apply the treatments and hit the mites. This is all the info I have which has helped me and which has not already been posted above by someone else. p.s. you can add borox to your laundry loads too.

I went to my do toe and he prescribed a cream permethrin 5% . It comes in a tube the size of a toothpaste tube. The cost was 27.00 dollars. You put that on you from head to toe. Keep it on for 8 to 14 hours and then shower it off. Strip your bedding and wash all your clothes that you have been wearing since you found you had scabies. They cannot survive long outside the body and will die. They need the human skin to live on. So sanitize your clothes and bedding. Do not get into physical contact with other people. You will transfer it to them. It can take as long as 6 weeks for symptoms to developed in someone after contact. I work at a restaurant and people hug me all the time and that is most likely how I got it. No more hugging for me!

You need to go on Amazon and buy a five gallon pail of 32% peroxide and apply to your body go slow when I first started I was blown away to the extent of the infestation. Its the only thing I know will kill them other than that whatever else you use it will need to be a thick paste to suffocate them
