Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by a tiny mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. It spreads easily through close physical contact and causes intense itching and rash.

What is Scabies?

Scabies occurs when microscopic mites burrow into the upper layer of the skin, causing an allergic reaction.

It spreads through:

• Prolonged skin-to-skin contact

• Sharing bedding, clothes, or towels

• Close household contact

Scabies is common in crowded living conditions but can affect anyone.

Common Symptoms of Scabies

✔ Intense itching (worse at night)
✔ Small red bumps or rash
✔ Thin, wavy burrow lines on skin
✔ Sores due to scratching
✔ Rash between fingers, wrists, elbows, waistline, and genitals

In infants and elderly people, it may affect the scalp, palms, and soles.

Treatment Options Available in Perambalur

At Perambalur City Pharmacy, we provide effective anti-scabies treatments.

🔹 First-Line Treatment

• Permethrin 5% cream (applied from neck to toes, left overnight, then washed off)

Usually repeated after 7 days to kill newly hatched mites.

🔹 Alternative Treatments (Doctor Advised)

• Oral ivermectin (for severe or crusted scabies)

• Other prescription topical treatments

⚠ All close family members should be treated at the same time, even if they have no symptoms.

Important Home Care Measures

✔ Wash clothes, towels, and bedding in hot water
✔ Dry items in sunlight or hot dryer
✔ Seal non-washable items in plastic bag for 3–5 days
✔ Trim fingernails to reduce scratching
✔ Avoid close contact until treatment completed

Itching may continue for 2–4 weeks even after successful treatment — this does not always mean treatment failure.
