Scabies is on the rise - here is what you need to know about signs, symptoms and quick treatments 👫

Scabies is an itchy rash caused by mites. It's spread through close skin contact, and anyone can get it. It should be treated quickly to stop it spreading. It is not usually a serious condition and can be treated via the pharmacy . It is extremely contagious so it is important you start treatment as soon as possible❗

Symptoms include:
- Intense itching
- raised rash or spots spread across the whole body apart from the head and neck
- older people and young children may develop a rash on their head, neck, palms and soles of their feet

You can buy over-the-counter treatment at the pharmacy:
- Permethrin 5% cream (Lyclear) - applied to the entire body to kill mites and eggs
- Malathion Lotion (Derbac M) - If permethrin is not effective
- Antihistamines and Calamine lotion for itching

It is very important you:
- treat EVERYONE in the household even if they don't have symptoms
- wash all bedding and clothing at 60 degrees and if possible put them in a hot dryer on the first day of treatment
- REPEAT THE TREATMENT after 7 days to kills any mites
- DO NOT have close physical contact with anyone until you have completed the full course of treatment
- DO NOT share bedding, clothing or towels with someone with scabies

You do not need to be treated at a GP for this. We advise visiting the pharmacy for treatment and following these steps to get rid of scabies 👩‍⚕️

Antibiotics are no longer routinely used to treat infections. Most infections are caused by viruses so antibiotics are not effective. Antibiotics are unlikely to speed up the healing process and can cause side effects 🧑‍🔬

The more antibiotics are used to treat minor conditions, the more likely they are to become ineffective for treating more serious conditions 👫

Public Health England have estimated by 2050, deaths attributed to antimicrobial resistance could be as high as 10 million a year 💊

If you feel unwell, antibiotics are not always the answer, it is best to visit your local pharmacy and try over the counter medications in the first instance👩
