Scabies Treatment

[vegamomma]

I think we may have got scabies from a hotel on our most recent trip : Is there any natural treatment for scabies? I have heard that Tea tree oil is ok but was not sure how to use it. I am also breastfeeding so I am extra wary of using the "pesticide" treatments. Is Tea Tree oil ok while breastfeeding? I am so upset about this, I try to do everything all natural and organic and then this happens

Thanks!

i've dealt with this before. the natural stuff didn't work. and sadly, it took 2-3 treatments of the permethrin before i got rid of it. i'm sorry you have to deal with it.

I was exposed at work. Never had the symptoms, but was told it was best to be treated just in case. Once you actively get it, it can take awhile to get rid of it. I used the prescription (while pregnant). It's a pregnancy category B and safe for lactation.
