Scabies is a common and highly contagious skin condition caused by the infestation of the human itch mite (Sarcoptes scabies). These microscopic mites burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching, redness, and a characteristic rash. While the condition can affect anyone, it spreads quickly through close personal contact or shared items, such as bedding or clothing. Without prompt treatment, scabies can worsen and lead to complications like secondary infections. Effective treatments are available to relieve symptoms and eliminate the mites.

How it Works
How it Works
Accurate Detection:
Scabies treatment begins with a comprehensive skin examination to confirm the diagnosis. Our skilled practitioners use their clinical expertise to identify characteristic symptoms, such as burrow marks and rash patterns, ensuring accurate detection.
Effective Treatments:
Once diagnosed, we employ effective medical treatments to eradicate the mites. Topical medications, such as permethrin cream or sulfur ointments, are applied to the entire body to kill the mites and their eggs. For severe or widespread infestations, oral medications like ivermectin may be prescribed to ensure complete eradication.
Preventing Re-infestation:
We also provide guidance on sanitizing personal items and bedding to prevent re-infestation. At Dermestetics, we highlight a holistic approach that addresses scabies’ physical and emotional aspects, supporting you every step of the way.
Complementary Treatments
While scabies treatments directly target the mites, complementary therapies can enhance recovery and skin health:
- Hydrating Skin Treatments: Replenish moisture and soothe irritated skin after treatment.
- Light Therapy: Reduce residual inflammation or redness.
- Antibacterial Care: Prevent secondary infections from scratching.
