In addition to all these, it should not be ignored that there is a development of resistance to the drugs used in the treatment of scabies. It is not possible for the treatment of scabies to be successful if the scabies patients do not apply the treatment history drawn by the specialist in the most accurate way and for the most appropriate time in the development of resistance, and if the people living in the same house do not have the awareness of applying the treatment for scabies, even if there are no symptoms.
“THE SCALE CONTAINMENT TIME 15 MINUTES”
Scabies can be seen in all people. Scabies is a type of disease that spreads through contagion. In other words, the transmission of the parasite from one person to another can occur with close contact between 15 and 30 minutes. Scabies affects the quality of life of the individual deeply and creates intense itching. Specifically, the excruciating itching is felt at night, and it’s basically a public health issue because it’s contagious to other people. The number of individuals afflicted with scabies because of infecting other people is demographically dense.
Scabies causes itching in every part of the human body, especially in the wrists and genital area. These parasites reach under the skin and lay their eggs. Parasites settled by tunnel digging method cause complaints to be seen after 2-6 weeks. He explained that scabies beetles are also actively moving, much like a burrowing machine. The mange beetles move their mouths to the left and right sides, moving to the very bottom of the skin surface. However, the tunnel we are talking about is not an overly large tunnel. It occupies as much space as a pinhead in the human body. It determines its own region by multiplying from the point where it is located. Later, it lays its eggs and causes scabies to become more chronic.
BAD HYGIENE PREPARES THE GROUND FOR SCALE
The risk of transmission of scabies is much higher in places where hygienic conditions are not fully suitable and mostly in collective areas such as prisons, military, schools, student dormitories, nursing homes. Skin contact is sharing the same room and sometimes the same bed, the same towel, the same cosmetics, the same items; Long-term physical intimacy or excessive physiological contact, such as sexual intercourse, seriously increase the risk of transmission of the scabies parasite.
EVERYONE IN THE SAME CIRCLE SHOULD BE TREATED
There is no clear laboratory technique for the diagnosis of scabies, and the diagnosis is made as a result of dermatoscopic or physical examination by listening to the history of the patient’s complaint. In addition, the disease can be detected as a result of examining the samples taken from suspicious areas with the help of a microscope. In the treatment of scabies, creams containing permethrin and crotamiton, lotions containing lindane, benzyl benzonate lotions and sulfuric ointments are used. In addition, oral itching drugs help the treatment. In addition to drug treatment, the patient’s belongings, bed linen and towels should be washed at least 60 degrees and ironed with a hot iron. Furniture and carpets in the house should be swept with a vacuum cleaner and then the chamber of the machine should be renewed. In addition, individuals living in the same environment should be treated at the same time as the patient with scabies, even if they do not have active complaints. The reason for this is that it can take 2-6 weeks for the symptoms of scabies, which is highly contagious, to show.
