The quickest way to treat scabies is to use a topical medication that is prescribed by a doctor. The medication, usually permethrin cream, is applied to the affected area of skin and should be left on for 8 to 14 hours. After this time, the cream should be washed off and the clothing and bedding should be changed. The medication should be reapplied in 7 to 10 days.

Other medications that may be prescribed include crotamiton cream, lindane lotion, and ivermectin pills. However, these medications are not as commonly used as permethrin cream.

In addition to medication, scabies can also be treated with lifestyle changes. It is important to keep the affected area clean and dry and to avoid scratching. Taking a warm bath with a mild soap can be helpful, and keeping fingernails trimmed short can reduce the likelihood of the scabies spreading to other parts of the body.

It is also important to clean and disinfect any objects that the affected person may have come in contact with. This includes clothing, bedding, and other items such as furniture and toys. Vacuuming carpets and furniture can also be helpful in removing any mites that may be present.

If the scabies is not treated, it can spread to other people. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of scabies so that it can be treated as soon as possible. If you think that you or someone you know has scabies, it is important to contact a doctor right away in order to get the most effective treatment.

Scabies is a highly contagious skin condition caused by mites. The quickest way to treat scabies is to use an over-the-counter medicated cream or lotion containing permethrin. These creams are applied topically and should be used as directed. If the condition does not improve within two weeks, a doctor should be consulted for a more powerful prescription medication. It is also important to wash all clothing and bedding in hot water and dry on a high heat setting, as this will help to kill the mites. Finally, any close contacts of the affected person should be evaluated and treated as well.
