Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I got some red patches on my buttocks, penis, and scrotum. It is too itchy. I consulted a doctor and he diagnosed it as scabies and advised to use Lindane Lotion. I used it for three days but the redness has not gone. The itchiness has reduced but not gone completely. My doctor is currently out of city. Can you suggest me what should I do?

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

Yes, it is nodular scabies. Now do not apply Lindane lotion. Consider the application of Flutibact (Fluticasone and Mupirocin) cream twice daily for seven days. Tablet Levocetirizine 10 mg at bedtime. It takes time for nodular lesions (inflammation) to subside. For future reference, if one has scabies consider a single application of Permethrin 5 % cream below the neck overnight. Do not use it now.

Thank you for consulting me.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

How to use the cream? Should I just apply it on the affected area or on the whole body? Is there any side effects for this cream?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Flutibact cream only over the affected area once daily. Other than this there is no need for any other application.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
