Scabies infection can be alleviated under a physician’s guidance by applying sulfur ointment, which demonstrates excellent scabicidal efficacy. Regular application of sulfur ointment effectively improves scabies symptoms. During treatment, meticulous local care is essential—keep the affected area clean and hygienic, and thoroughly disinfect all personal items.
