I have scabies, I'm treating it as well as I can. I washed every single piece I have, I'm using lindane lotion and this is day 5. I'm becoming OCD of discipline, Q! Can scabies live on soaps?

Dr. Ismaël Maatouk Dermatology
Scabies do not live more thn 2 days out of skin. It's classic that people who get scabies become anxious about it; you only have to take the treatment as prescribed, and follow up its efficacy by the decrease of itching. Wash your clothes with hot water and that's it. Don't get anxious. Best of luck.
