What is the danger of repeated use of scabicides and pediculicides?

Answer 1

Scabicides should only be used under controlled programme by you're gp or dermatologist as they are pesticides meaning substance that kills parasites. The most common adverse affect after frequent use is drying of the skin causing the person to itch thinking they still have a scabies infestation etc ,another is thinning of the skin so skin becomes more fragile and vulnerable. The most deadly of all is the possibiliity of neuro damage and developing cancer as the properties if overused can accerelate cell changes. It has been known to contain carciogenic ingredients. Use the scabicides as told by you're doctor no more than once a week is applied. Scabies produces a post syndrome which can last up to 4 weeks after successful treatment ,though the symptoms should be less than when infected its normal to still get a few pimples every few days that don't itch a nd itching during the night should not happen ,just a little scratch here and there .also if you get burrows go back to doctor treatment has defintley failed wait till 4 weeks after treatment that's second application and if you're still itching consult your doctor if you get burrows see your doctor before the 4 weeks are up.
