Please help me get rid of scabies

Posted By Mr. Need Help (Sacramento, California ) on 05/29/2015

This is my story about scabies. I'm 21 and been having it for about 1 month. I showered and applied permethrin cream 5% to my whole body. Didn't clean my bathroom afterward. I took 24hrs to wash off the cream and reapplied it . Still haven't clean my bathroom. I think this is the reason why I still have scabies. its starting to shower up on my arms now. What can I do so it won't get worse? Should I apply the cream again? Do I stop playing soccer due to passing it on? How long would it take for it to go away? I feel bad for my family. I have 3 brothers (1,7&9yrs) and 2 sisters (4&14yrs). I avoid kissing and hugging them. I cry sometimes for this reason (especially my baby brother). I told my mother but she didn't take it serious. She says it would go away by itself. PLEASE WORLD HELP ME. Thanks

Apple cider vinegar - bathe in it and drink one tablespoon three times a day. Real acv.

I got some stuff called "Nu-Stock" on Amazon (a sulphur, mineral oil and pine tar cream mixture) for my pups and was surprised to read in the reviews that people were using it to get rid of scabies. Just find it on Amazon and read those reviews. Apparently, it's amazing and everybody wants to kiss the guy who came up with it, LOL.

One thing you mustn't forget is that it comes in a tube which one doesn't normally associate with shaking but you MUST shake it up - a LOT - and THEN shake it some MORE. It should look like a cream when it comes out. If there's any sign of oil, then you didn't shake it enough. I put mine in a mason jar so I can see it and stir it up with a chopstick.

I also made up some "salve" by warming it up and adding a little bit of melted beeswax which doesn't separate as badly but you have to shake it or mix it up every time you use it. Even if it's only been 5 minutes. Shake the you-know-what out of it.

Some say it stinks but when it's properly mixed, I don't think it does. I like the smell. It sparks a memory but I can't put my finger on it.
