Answered by Dr. Anju Methil
If you have scabies mites that may be in your clothes, you should wash them with hot water. Particularities of using Pyrethrum medicine include dry skin so the cream can make better contact and stay for about 8-14 hours before rinsing off. Camphor-infused coconut oil may help, albeit, it's not the main solution for scabies. Ensure that the prescribed medicines are correctly used along with the usual medicines. As much as possible, always wash clothes in hot water. For more advice, you can consult a dermatologist.
