Scabies can be cured. It is generally important to pay attention to the duration of medication use, change and wash clothes promptly, and clean and dry bedding and quilt covers to prevent re-infection. In addition, for cases caused by long-term infection, treatment mainly involves topical application of medications for local steroid injection therapy, or liquid nitrogen cryotherapy. Patients are advised to maintain good personal hygiene in daily life.
