Treatment for Scabies
Permethrin or Benzene is commonly prescribed to treat scabies. These treatments eliminate the eggs of mites but do not kill them. You will need to repeat this treatment several times until all eggs hatch. This is a temporary cure, as you will relapse if even one nit escapes treatment. Both permethrin and benzene have a number of side effects because they are toxic chemicals that are carcinogenic.
