Fixing a stubborn case of scabies

What is a “stubborn case” of scabies?

A stubborn case is one that is not cured by using any of the scabies treatments two weeks in a row (you can see the treatment schedules here).

If you are not cured there are three possibilities:

You do not have scabies.
You have a stubborn case of scabies
You have scabies and a systemic bacterial infection

If you ever read clinical studies where they test how effective various scabies treatments are you will marvelous cure rates for some treatments. Often there are claims of 80% or 90% cure rates. The researchers are being honest but they have a little unhidden secret, before they start a trial they eliminate “complicated” cases.

What is a complicated case?

It depends on the study’s criteria, but it can mean they eliminate pregnant women or anyone who did any other treatment in the previous month or who has a bacterial infection, etc, etc.

Full disclosure: I have personally bought and used almost everything I mention on my web site. I search for good deals on good products for myself and tell you where to find them. If you buy from Amazon I do get a small commission, but you get the same price you would anyway. Most of the other stores I mention pay me nothing, but if they are convenient or have a good deal, I tell you.

Thanks for your support. I'm not getting rich doing this. When folks use the product links I can see they care. It is a fair amount of work keeping the site up. And of course you can email me anytime.
