"Any ideas for safe, effective remedies? (Asking for a friend)." Permethrin or Derbac M. Both can be bought over the counter. Wash bedding and towels on a hot wash 60°C and high heat dry for 20-40 minutes, or seal in a vacuum bag for 1-2 weeks if you can not machine wash certain items. | |||

"In seriousness, just ask any chemist for the stuff to get rid of em. Might be a red faced moment, but they've heard it all a thousand times. Failing that pop into your local clinic and get a full check up at the same time." Ask at the chemist for treatment for headlice (for your child  ) it's the same treatment and as effective. | |||

"I caught them on my lower legs clearing out an ex whole house for a landlord friend many years ago! I went to the local chemist and they gave me a cream, she laughed when I told her what I thought had happened but said she did believe me because of the location on my legs and not higher up, another few days and things could have been much worse. " They die within 1 to 2 days when not on a person, so I can see why she laughed at you | |||

"Sexual Health NHS person here - You'll need an actual topical agent. Lyclear is the most available brand in the UK. Wash all bedding, towels and clothes on at least 50°C wash and do the same again in 2 weeks. Any rugs, carpets or plush cushions, sofas and mattress should be vacuumed too - repeat on 2 weeks again. "  Surely most people wash bedding & towels, vacuum carpets more often than every two weeks?  | |||

Apart from I'd not been anywhere else to catch them and it was only a few on my lower legs, they hadn't moved north before I spotted them. It's not unusual in that type of work. | |||

"Re towels rugs etc etc. I understand the wash in hot water (plus 50 or plus 60) would a few days in a freezer also be effective? I was thinking pillows and cushions. " Anything that can’t be washed at 60 degrees (either too delicate or impractical) can go in the freezer for 48 hours. Crabs are easier to get rid of than scabies as you can see the black specks. Scabies mites are much smaller so don’t cut corners getting rid of those. Strip the bed completely and then vacuum the mattress to within an inch of its life. If you’ve got a spare bed sleep in that for three or four days and then give it the same treatment. The itching with scabies is actually an allergic reaction to the mites’ shit. So once you’ve applied the lotion don’t be disheartened if the itching carries on for a few days afterwards, the mite burrows under the skin and so it’s shit will still be there after it’s been killed. Use something to help with the process of exfoliation - obviously not a yard brush in delicate areas! | |||

Use something to help with the process of exfoliation - obviously not a yard brush in delicate areas! " For scabies, current medical guidance generally suggests that while bedding, towels and recently worn clothes should be washed at 60°C at the time of treatment, excessive environmental cleaning (e.g. obsessively vacuuming mattresses and furniture) is usually unnecessary, as scabies spreads mainly through prolonged skin-to-skin contact rather than via the environment. It is true, however, that itching can persist for some time after successful treatment due to the ongoing allergic reaction to mite debris remaining in the skin. | |||

In fact, the trend for shaved public has seen a massive drop in the number of cases of crabs. Read the correct information on the NHS site. Shaving does not get rid of crabs. They live in the hair follicle itself. If anyone is concerned about any health issues the NHS site will give you correct information. ...

"… You might be lucky and get a sympathetic pharmacist. But these days it’s unlikely… …They live in the hair follicle… …And start being responsible about your sex life... " What sort of judgmental and ignorant shit is this?! Pharmacists want to sell you products. They’re not interested in judging you for what you buy and for what condition. That’s completely in somebody’s head. Public lice do NOT live in the hair follicles. They do not burrow into the skin. This is either confusion with scabies or ignorance. And why does catching crabs mean someone is being irresponsible in their sex life?! They’re a close-contact transmission parasite not an STD. You can catch them without having sex. This sort of response is exactly why you should avoid asking these questions to random anonymous men on the internet. | |||
