The treatment of infection by crabs will consist of eliminating the crabs from the skin and alleviating the itching of the infected person.
- Permethrin: is a type of pesticide that is frequently used in agriculture. It is used in the form of a shampoo, applying it all over the body from the neck down. You should massage your hair well and keep it without rinsing for a few minutes. Its most frequent side effects are skin irritation and increased itching at the beginning of treatment.
- Liendrera: this is the name of a special comb that has very thin spikes and joints. It allows to comb the hair by removing the nits attached to the hair shaft.
- Oral antihistamines: the itching takes several weeks to disappear after having eliminated the parasite completely, so it is necessary that the doctor prescribes a specific treatment to relieve it and avoid that the affected one is scratched and can hurt the skin. Antihistamines should be taken daily before bedtime. However, it is important to know that the most powerful cause sleep, so you have to be careful with driving or activities that require concentration.
- Malathion lotion: is an alternative to topical permethrin. It also eliminates the parasite, but its use is less widespread.
- Washing and insulation of clothing: although it is not the first transmission route, it is prudent to wash the clothes used in the last two weeks with hot water and keep it isolated in airtight bags
- Shaving: waxing or shaving is recommended in cases where nitre can not be used or the infection is very extensive. All hair from the neck down, and even facial hair should be removed if it is found that the infection has also reached that level.
- Treatment of sexual partners: all the previous points must be carried out by people who have had sexual relations with the infected person in the last month.
