Scabies Treatment in Bangladesh – Safe & Effective Care at Skinic Dermatology Centre

Scabies is a widespread skin infection in Bangladesh that spreads very easily, affecting people of all ages and backgrounds. It can spread quickly within families, schools, hostels, and workplaces if not treated properly.

At Skinic Dermatology Centre, Dhaka, we offer accurate diagnosis and advanced scabies treatment using internationally approved medicines and protocols. Led by Dr. Asif Imran Siddiqui, our centre provides safe, fast, and long-term relief from scabies with a patient-focused approach.

Understanding Scabies: Causes, Symptoms & How It Spreads

Scabies occurs when the skin is infected by the parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei. These tiny parasites dig beneath the skin, leading to severe itching, irritation, and skin rashes.

Scabies spreads through:

• Close skin-to-skin contact.
• Shared clothes, towels, and bedding.
• Living in crowded or shared environments.
• Sleeping in the same bed with an infected person.

Because the mites multiply quickly, early diagnosis and treatment are essential for preventing complications and protecting others around you.

Common Symptoms of Scabies You Should Not Ignore

Scabies often looks similar to eczema, allergies, or rashes, which is why many people delay treatment. Knowing the signs helps you seek care at the right time.

Typical symptoms include:

• Intense itching, especially at night.
• Red bumps, tiny blisters, or pimple-like rash.
• Thin grey or skin-coloured lines (burrow marks).
• Sores from scratching.
• Rash is commonly found on wrists, fingers, elbows, waist, abdomen, underarms, and private areas.

If two or more family members show similar symptoms, it is a strong sign of scabies infestation.

Why Scabies Is Common in Bangladesh

Scabies spreads more easily in tropical climates and crowded living conditions, making it common in Bangladesh. Factors that increase the risk include:

• Family members living in close quarters.
• Schools, hostels, daycares, and shared dormitories.
• Limited awareness and delayed diagnosis.
• Self-medication with ineffective creams.

Professional evaluation is crucial because incorrect treatment often causes the infestation to return.

Scabies Diagnosis at Skinic Dermatology Centre, Dhaka

At Skinic Dermatology Centre, we follow a clinical and evidence-based approach for accurate diagnosis. Dr. Asif Imran Siddiqui performs:

• Detailed skin examination.
• Assessment of symptoms and exposure history.
• Dermatoscopy to detect burrow marks.
• Skin scraping (if needed) to confirm mites under a microscope.

This ensures correct identification so we can start the right treatment immediately.

Best Scabies Treatment in Bangladesh at Skinic Dermatology Centre

We provide personalized treatment plans based on international dermatology guidelines. Our treatment methods include:

1. Prescription Topical Medicines

Medicated creams and lotions are applied to kill mites and their eggs. These may include:

• Permethrin cream.
• Benzyl benzoate lotion.
• Sulfur ointment (safe for children & pregnant women).

These medicines are more effective than over-the-counter creams and ensure faster recovery.

2. Oral Medication for Severe Cases

For crusted scabies, repeated infections, or when topical creams are not enough, we use oral antiparasitic medicines that target the mites internally.

3. Treatment for All Family Members

Because scabies spreads quickly, everyone who has close contact with the infected patient must undergo treatment at the same time—even if they do not show symptoms.

This is one of the most important steps to prevent recurrence.

4. Anti-itch and Skin-Healing Support

We may prescribe:

• Antihistamines for itching.
• Steroid creams for inflammation.
• Moisturizers for skin repair.

These ensure faster comfort and complete skin healing.

How Long Does Scabies Treatment Take?

With proper treatment:

• Mites usually die within 24–48 hours.
• Itching may continue for 2–4 weeks, which is normal.
• Visible skin improvement is usually seen within 7–10 days.

We guide each patient with detailed aftercare to ensure complete recovery.

Home Care Instructions to Prevent Reinfection

Along with medication, proper hygiene and cleaning help stop the spread of scabies.

You should:

• Wash all clothes, towels, and bed sheets in hot water.
• Sun-dry or heat-dry all fabrics to kill mites.
• Vacuum mattresses, sofas, and carpets.
• Avoid sharing clothes or bedding.
• Keep nails short to reduce bacterial infection from scratching.
• Follow treatment exactly as prescribed.

Proper follow-up helps ensure the infection does not return.
