What is scabies?
Scabies causes an intense itch, often worse at night, with a rash or small blister-like bumps especially between the fingers, wrists and waist.
When to seek medical advice

Available treatments
Permethrin 5% cream is first-line. Malathion lotion is an alternative. Oral ivermectin is used for crusted scabies or outbreaks. Antihistamines and emollients help itching.
What to expect
Apply treatment over the whole body from the neck down and leave on overnight. A second application after 7 days is usual. Itching can continue for weeks after the mites are killed.
