    Question almost 5 years ago

    Is Tricort used for the treatment of scabies?

    Dr. Ramraj Meena MBBS , General Physician

    Yes, Tricort is used for the treatment of scabies. Scabies is a parasitic infection caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. It is diagnosed by either finding out the mite, its ova or its excreta. This often leads to a lot of itching and a rash. Scabies can be prevented by treating everyone in the house at the same time because scabies may take several weeks to present as a manifestation. It is also important to avoid prolonged skin to skin contact. The laundry should be done in hot water and it should be dried at the hottest temperature setting so that the mite gets killed. Unwashable items should be put in a bag and the bag should be closed tightly. In due course of time, the mites will die a natural death and the bag articles can be used again. It is also critical that the bath and hand towels are not shared with each other. Lastly, it is important to comply with the treatment completely.
