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
See a pharmacist or GP if you suspect scabies. Treat close contacts at the same time even if they have no symptoms yet.
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.
Self-care
Wash bedding, towels and clothes at 60°C or higher. Items that cannot be washed can be bagged for 72 hours. Vacuum upholstered furniture.
How Prescriptsy compares providers
We compare available options using verifiable attributes, not clinical suitability. Only a doctor working for the chosen provider can make that assessment.
We consider indicative price and availability, the consultation and prescription route, and public information about the provider and its licences.
Prescriptsy may receive a fee after a referral. This does not change the user's price or determine the medical information we publish.
Prices, stock and terms can change. Always verify final details with the provider; display order is not medical advice or a treatment recommendation.
