    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.

    Thank you.
