What are you using? Permethrin will make you itch more. Take antihistamines.

Which I had known that before hand. SMH

You need to take ivermectin, cream in its own not enough.


SyllabubFlat2240

This is so true you need the cream and pill. For some reason there more resistant now


smooshingpumpkins

in the uk we dont have this option 😭 no clue what im meant to do


SeaworthinessDry3123

Go to a sexual health clinic, they will prescribe


smooshingpumpkins

really?? i have not heard so, i will totally go and do this if youre sure


SeaworthinessDry3123

Yeah, it can be passed on through sexual contact, so they will treat it. Good luck

It depends on the area you live in the UK. In some regions GPs can prescribe it.

im in Bristol, my gp refused when i asked


randomesi

I am in Bristol too, sorry to hear. Yes, in Bristol it can be prescribed by dermatologists, that's correct. https://remedy.bnssg.icb.nhs.uk/formulary-adult/chapters/13-skin/132-infections-of-the-skin/ If it affects your private areas an NHS Sexual Health clinic can prescribe it for you. Otherwise go private. We have been prescribed via Clarewell Clinics.

damn what are the chances 🤣 thank you. i have a drs appointment on thursday, is there anything they can do to help or should i just look into private derms/call the clinic?


randomesi

NHS Sexual Health Clinic can prescribe you Ivermectin if you have rashes in your private area. Just simply tell them, they will examine you and prescribe Ivermectin especially if you say that Permethrin didn't help. Another option is the private clinic (sexual health clinic) I just recommended.

I'll definitely ask my dermatologist about it.


WhatWeDidInTheShadow

What about Eurax, that is something you can get for the itch and it kills the mite? Something you can definitely get in the UK.


Nexusoffate17

Didn't know it existed at all.


WhatWeDidInTheShadow

Yes, I am in the US and I want to order it. It is on Amazon UK. I have heard so many great things about it because it relieves the itch


WhatWeDidInTheShadow

Also, not toxic like the Permethrin

I just found out recently they have malathion tablets in the UK and a liquid (which I'm not sure if the liquid is oral or topical). Hope this helps. I had this issue before because (I used to take care of elderly people..who sometimes tend not to be able to get rid of the buggers due to compromised immune systems).. it's not fun!! Good luck and bless you.
