Can scabies be cured?

Scabies can be cured. Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by the parasitism of scabies mites in the superficial layer of the skin, primarily characterized by skin papules, vesicles, burrows, and intense itching at night. Treatment for scabies requires a comprehensive approach, including topical medications such as sulfur ointment and benzyl benzoate emulsion, which can kill scabies mites and relieve symptoms. Patients should also maintain good personal hygiene, keep the skin clean, bathe regularly, change clothes frequently, and avoid close contact with individuals who have scabies to prevent reinfection. With consistent treatment under medical guidance, most patients can be cured. Due to its contagious nature, patients must actively cooperate with treatment and take preventive measures to avoid spreading the infection.
