Scabies (help please)

[Titties and Beer]

Suffering from what I believe is Scabies.. Anyone ever had these and had a remedy that works and got them out of your skin completely in a few days? I heard Selenium Sulfide mixed with coconut lotion would do the trick, but I want a second opinion.

if you really want to get rid of it fast go see a doctor and wash every single thing that youve sat on or layed on for the 2 weeks before you showed signs.
i had a house mate that had it a few years ago, everyone else in the house ended up getting it but me as i was careful and played computer games heavily so i rarely left my room if i wasnt at gym.

Sounds like OTC treatments won't help much - this info is provided by the Mayo Clinic (see link)

Scabies treatment involves eliminating the infestation with medications. Several creams and lotions are available. You usually apply the medication over all your body, from your neck down, and leave the medication on for at least eight hours.
Because scabies spreads so easily, your doctor may recommend treatment for all family members and other close contacts, even if they show no signs of scabies infestation.
Medications commonly prescribed for scabies include:

• Permethrin 5 percent (Elimite). Your doctor may recommend that you apply this cream — which contains chemicals that kill scabies — twice, with a week or so between each application. Permethrin is generally considered safe for children and adults of all ages, including women who are pregnant or nursing.
• Lindane. This medication — also a chemical treatment — is available as a cream, lotion and shampoo. Like permethrin, it's usually applied in two treatments, spaced about a week apart. This medication isn't safe for children younger than age 2 years, women who are pregnant or nursing, or people with weakened immune systems.
• Crotamiton (Eurax). This nonchemical medication is applied once a day for two to five days. Your doctor may recommend it if your baby has scabies.

Although these medications kill the mites promptly, you may find that the itching doesn't stop entirely for several weeks.
Doctors sometimes prescribe the oral medication ivermectin (Stromectol) for people with altered immune systems, for people who have crusted scabies, or for people who don't respond to the prescription lotions and creams.

Take a shower. After you shower, douse your entire body in hairspray, then wet your hands with plain water and gently wipe yourself down (just enough to where you're not sticky, but keeping the hairspray on)...this will smother the parasites. Do it for 4 or 5 days and you should be good.

Just kidding. I don't know too much about scabies, but look into what's been posted above. Google is your friend. Also, go talk to the pharmacist at your local drug store.

Shit like this is embarrassing, but don't be embarrassed. It doesn't mean you're dirty, or have a dirty house. Having raised kids, and having dealt with several head lice infestations, you learn that this stuff passes around pretty easily. I was so uncomfortable the first time I had to go and buy Rid; I felt like a filthy lepper. It's no big deal.

Scabies is a contagious skin infection that occurs among humans and animals. It is caused by a parasite—the mite Sarcoptes scabiei—which burrows under the host's skin, causing him or her to suffer intense itching. Crusted scabies, formerly known as Norwegian scabies, is a more severe form of the infection;[1] the mites, numbering thousands in such cases, cause scaly rashes and thick crusts of skin to form on the host.

The word scabies is derived from the Latin word scabere, which means scratch. The infection is also known as sarcoptic mange and colloquially as the seven year itch. It can be effectively treated with a number of medications; permethrin cream is the most effective but expensive compared to other treatments. Often, to prevent re-infection, the host's frequent company are also treated.
