<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I was affected to Scabies and two different lotions are used. That is Benzal two days in twice a day but again I felt itchy so I use P-Scab India- Five days evening. Now I am 99 ok. Still one or two sopt itching. Can I apply again this Benzal?If the dressess are pour in Dettol water, it will kill the scabies?  <response>: Hi, thanks for your query. I shall let you know some facts about scabies and its treatment:Scabies is caused by a mite which makes burrows in the skin which causes itching more at night. It is contagious infection. It is treated with Permethrin5 single overnight application below neck8-10 hours. Usually this cures the infection, rarely it is repeated after 10-15 days. Itching persists for 10-15 days even after application because of irritation by the remnants of dead mites. So you dont need to repeat the application of Bengal, instead you may take any anti-histaminic like cetirizine for itching. Detail will not kill the mite. The mite is sensitive to higher temperature. You may wash the Chat Doctor.
