Scabies is a common and highly infectious skin condition caused by the infestation of the human itch mite, Sarcoptes scabiei. These microscopic mites burrow into the skin, triggering intense itching, redness, and discomfort. Without immediate treatment, the condition can spread rapidly to others and may lead to complications, like secondary infections from excessive scratching. It is important to seek professional care for scabies to stop their progression, relieve symptoms, and restore skin health.

How it Works
How it Works
Accurate Diagnosis
The treatment starts with a detailed consultation and skin evaluation. Practitioners carefully assess the affected areas to confirm the presence of scabies mites. This allows scabies to be accurately differentiated from similar skin conditions like eczema or contact dermatitis.
Customized Treatment Plan
Once scabies are confirmed, the team at Dermestetics develops a customized treatment plan tailored to the severity of the condition. Treatments typically involve medical-grade topical medications that are highly effective in eliminating mites. These medications target the mites directly while soothing irritated skin and alleviating itching. Patients will be provided with clear instructions on how to apply the treatment to maximize results.
Preventing Reinfection
Preventing reinfestation is a critical component of the scabies treatment process. Dermestetics emphasizes patient education, providing detailed guidance on:
● Decontaminating clothing, bedding, and personal items to eradicate lingering mites.
● Avoiding close contact with infected people to lessen the risk of reinfection.
● Maintaining good hygiene practices to support ongoing skin health.
Practitioners work closely with patients throughout the recovery process to ensure complete eradication of the mites and healthy skin restoration. Follow-up consultations are available to address any lingering concerns and monitor progress.
