Way back in history, there is a record of people having scabies, and being treated for it. Bible verses that were written some 3000 years in the past, are dealing with scabies. Describing what could have been scabies, was written by Aristotle about this condition, but he never called by the term, scabies. Being ancient is what makes things interesting, and that is what the condition known as scabies is. The scabies mite must have caused some people to have a horrible time thousands of years ago. Without antihistamines to use for treatment, the extreme itching must have been almost unbearable. To get scabies today isn't nearly as big a deal, since modern medicine treats it quite successfully.
The treatment of scabies, called scabicides, are necessary to combat these pesky mites. Scabies infestations are properly handled when the mites and the eggs are destroyed because of the treatment.
When someone has scabies, they have been infested, not infected, because the infestation is actually tiny mites. If you have scabies, your doctor may prescribe a medication that has raised some red flags in the medical community; this compound is called Lindane. This substance may have neurotoxic effects, and therefore some countries have place limits on its use. Lindane is okay to use in the United States, though only after the initial scabies treatment has failed. So if your initial treatment fails, fill free to ask your doctor for this as an alternative.
Treatment for scabies can vary from person to person depending upon the age, health, and a variety of other elements that your doctor will explain. Using a medicated cream, the doctor will have you spread this on the infected areas and may also prescribe some other treatments as well. You also get an antihistamine which will decrease your amount of itching caused by the mites in your skin. Keep in mind that the severe itch is an allergic reaction to the presence of the mites and eggs inside the body. This is exactly why antihistamines are prescribed to take care of this problem. Another solution, Ivermectin tablets, are very useful and effective in handling scabies infestations. And finally, set an appointment after were scabies has been treated successfully to make sure the little mites are definitely gone.
Nodules in your skin is very common with those that have effectively removed scabies from their epidermal layer. Don't worry! Nodules will eventually disappear over time. One approach to treating nodular scabies is with steroidal injections directly into the nodules. Nodule infestations can also be treated very effectively using coal tar when applied directly. If you still have itching, it is your body coping with how the scabies tunneled through your skin. It is this constant burrowing effect that really inflames and irritates your skin. If you're itching gets extremely bad, you can use Benadryl which will help curb the itching sensation. The moment you think you might have scabies, you should get a hold of your doctor and if they positively diagnose you with it, than they can provide you with an effective cure for it. Then you should do everything that you possibly can to purify all the belongings you have at home.
