Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

There is mainly itching all the time. The rashes are clear in the pictures that I have sent. Please guide.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You might be suffering from scabies. Please take the following medications:

  1. Pernil lotion - Permethrin has to be applied to your whole family members as a precautionary measure. Around 50 mL has to be applied to each candidate.
  2. Tablet Teczine M (combination of Montelukast and Levocetirizine) one tablet daily at night.
  3. Use HHMITE (Permethrin) soap for bathing.
  4. Wash all clothing in hot water and use a hot iron or discard clothes from any kind of use for five days.
  5. It may take 10-15 days for itching to subside.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
