Pregnant women with scabies can apply sulfur ointment under the guidance of a qualified physician to alleviate symptoms. They must not self-administer oral medications, as this may adversely affect the developing fetus. During treatment, patients should frequently change clothing and maintain clean, hygienic skin. Additionally, the living environment should undergo comprehensive disinfection.
