... and did not work only temporary. Can I take this medication in a week or two weeks in a row? I read that one guy did three weeks in a row and that's how he finally got cured. Permethrin did not work on me only temporary then they stopped react to it. I am thinking to use lindane lotion, Can I use that on my scalp? and with the ivermectin? and I understand that is a one time treatment. I have mites on my scalp and I don't know the best way to get rid of them there and the body the same time. Please help!!
Stromectol - I'm suffering of severe mite infestation. I tried ivermectin on day 1,2,8,9 and 15....

My brother has had what we believe to be crusted scabies and has only been diagnosed as just scabies. He has dealt with this going on 6 months. He has seen 6 different doctors and no one yet will even do a simple skin but thru have prescribed the medications for crusted scabies. This last dose which consists of 6 3mg tablets on day one and two of ivermectum along with the permethrin cream and also using emuiaid that was bought online and is all natural. We believe that because the doctors haven't diagnosed his as crusted scabies has not been given enough of these medicine to completely rid his body of these awful creatures. We are going to take our own skin scrape and sent it off to a lab and see if his diagnosis comes back as crusted scabies. The CDC has been literally no help along with the nih.
We still have allot of work to do to make sure my brother is cured of this but we are learning also that enough is not known about this bug and that medical staff had not been a help but we do want to help others dealing with this same issue or at least we can work together to help each other.

Hi, I am experiencing exactly the same. I am beside myself. Myself and my 20yr old son are suffering, for five months now. Our GP won’t refer us or prescribe as he thinks we’re making it up. Mine is predominantly on my scalp and I have extremely thick hair. Last week we lived with permethrin 5% on for four days solid, I spent nearly all my wage on it and it has made no difference. I just don’t know what to do next. I’ve tried everything, I’m pretty much mentally exhausted now.
I’m thinking I’ve no choice but to try the horse wormer, apparently it is effective but I’m terrified of the side effects.
I really hope you get some relief. Best wishes.

I mix permethrin in with my shampoo and detergents even my lotions. I’m finally scabies free after being infested - it took 6 months!
Tea tree oil worked very well. Now I mix it in my lotions and shampoo and put some in squirt bottle and use all over after showering and through out the day.
I also used ivermectin paste daily!!! For several weeks.
Used permethrin until they got used to it.
I also used benzoyl peroxide (mixed into lotion) - you leave it on for 24 hours.
Nizoral shampoo.
Pet mange shampoo (has turpentine, sulphur).
I also used a product called Nu Stock. It’s 72% sulphur.
And always wash everything hot water.
Dry everything.
Don’t reuse towels.
Vacuum.
Mop.
Bleach.
Bag up things.
They can live forever it seems!!

I used permethrin several times and did not kill them so gave up on that. I have Ivermectin pour on for animals that I diluted with some water and I also tried Malathion lotion 0.5% but still feel them and think it's not enough strong for scabies. What product was the most successful for you and which one killed them? I'm even thinking to get albenzadole 400 mg for three days. Will try to get it at the urgent care. They seem the only one who are OK prescribing things.

How did you mix permethrin in everything?
We have been treated so much with permethrin and ivermectin that the pediatrician won't treat the kids anymore (4 times)
I have sprayed, bombed, disinfected, and washed everything...
I'm desperate! Please help

I had a fungus in my hair follicles and I don't know if I got it from s. scabies or otherwise? I also have always had a slight case of folliculitis (where my hair follicles sometimes become inflamed from being clogged). I used everything. The best solution for me was Natroba. There are ways to get it. I am not a doctor and do not recommend that you buy Conserv sc Spinosad a & b and put a fine coat on your body after showering. I let it dry for 20 hours and repeated twice. A half tablespoon rubs into scalp thoroughly or as needed. I took ivermectin, soaked in permethrin, beeswax & turpentine on an induction cooktop when mixed well makes a soothing and healing compound. I used dog flea and tick tubes and applied them to my body. Washed in turpentine when scalp drove me crazy. I scraped, dug, took antibiotics soaked in bleach, coated body in aquifer lotion for weeks, ... more much more.
So back to subject, the only useful things are Spinosad a & b 40% (not Capt'n Jacks too low percentage), permethrin, bleach baths but only for 3-4 days soak 30 min. do that after 20 hours., Nizoral shampoo to help skin stay healthy, wash all clothes, clean, change sheets everyday for 20 hour treatment, put blankets in dryer so they reach 120 degrees for 10 minutes (all clothes too), Apply tons of lotion halfway through bath, rub on skin and gently exfoliate(your cloned pours may open in bath and when you massage lotion you may feel some gritty particles this is good to remove them.), then go back in bleach bath to clean skin and any open sores (not recommended) 3 days and do not repeat for 30 days. This helped me when nothing else would work. I do not recommend that anyone else does this without supervision of a doctor. Natroba could be the prescription you need.

Ok thank you so much for taking your time helping!! I tried Malathion 0.5 % lotion yesterday, I feel a decline but still feel them on my scalp and ties and few on my legs. It was really strong and but didn't irritate my skin. I 'm thinking Malathion 1% lotion would work better and I ordered from E-bay. How was Natroba? was it irritant on your skin? did it help after the first treatment or did you use it several times? I tried a cream with Benzyl Benzoate and did not work for me. I'm wondering if Natroba then would work?? I feels like no doctors can help and I even did Biopsy and they still don't find it. I just want to remove all plastic and get my life back...
