can zertec and zantact make the scabbies rash go away? my son was diagnosed but im not so sure that is what he has. he had the same rash back in july and it went away very easily with no treatment other than a does of prednazone (steriods). no one else in our house has gotten it i have 5 other kids that frequiently share beds. the rash does not stay unless we dont give him some type of antihistimine
Hi there. I would say that Zyrtec is not a cure for scabies, the only recommended medication of choice is 5% Permethrin cream or lotion. Zyrtec is an anti histamine and can only help in reducing the itch caused by the infestations. If there is no one else affected in the family it doesn't mean that Scabies is ruled out, someone in his school or may be some other kid in your neighborhood may be affected. But if you are sure that there is no possibility of Scabies then you should see your dermatologist to review him for Urticaria or Contact or Atomic dermatitis. I hope I have made it clearer to you. Thanks and best of luck.
