Scabies - Steroids Didn't Work - Desperate!

by Carla
(Los Angeles)

For almost a year, I have been prescribed steroid creams as treatment for scabies.

I am tired, frustrated and afraid. Frustrated because I have been using these creams for a long time and I do not see any improvement. I still have the itching and burning sensations that make my daily life miserable.

Do you know about any natural treatment that can help me with this issue?

Thank you

Carla

Hello Carla,

Please do not feel tired, frustrated and afraid as there is help for you! For our website viewers, let me explain that scabies is an infestation of the skin caused by a tiny mite called Sarcoptes scabiei hominis. Scabies is very contagious and spreads rapidly in crowded areas such as hospitals, nursing homes, child care facilities, prisons, and other locations where people spend extended periods of time in close contact with one another.

The rash of scabies is extremely itchy and develops when a pregnant female mite burrows into the skin and lays her eggs. The human immune system is very sensitive to the presence of the mite and produces an allergic response that causes intense itching and small blisters and scratch marks may be seen. Although a person who is infested with scabies usually only has 10?20 mites on his or her entire body, there may be a large number of lesions because of this allergic response. Secondary bacterial infections may be caused by aggressive scratching. In adults the mites are usually on the hands or fingers, wrists, feet, ankles, waist, genital areas and breasts. On children under 2 years old they may also be on the scalp.

Prescribed as well as over the counter steroid creams produce harmful side effects which include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. Not only this, but steroid use almost always produces a "rebound effect" of the very symptoms you are trying to get rid of! Further, after treatment symptoms may persist even though a person may not be infectious.

First, the discontinuing of anything harmful, such as steroid creams and such is very important for the healing process to begin. Begin by using our FACE & BODY MOISTURIZING WASH to cleanse with daily. Next, apply our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM to the affected areas to relieve the itching and burning sensations as the cream penetrates the 7 layers of skin to restore and repair. Both of these products are hypo-allergenic and contain anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties that will protect your skin while supplying your skin with moisture and nutrients.

Also helpful will be to wear clean clothing and sleep between freshly laundered bed linens as well as making sure that bedding and clothing are washed and dried at very hot settings or dry cleaned.

Please keep me posted on your progress Carla.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
