Scabies has been a problem for humanity for centuries. Cyclical epidemics have occurred in many Western countries every 15 or 30 years. Scabies is caused by a mite that burrows under the skin and causes a contagious infection that spreads rapidly between family members, close personal contacts and within congested communities. Many patients can treat Scabies with a lotion for Scabies that kills the parasite. Most treatments are topical lotions. There is no over the counter medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of scabies. Over the counter medications might contain weaker formulations of medications prescribed for scabies; but, they are not strong enough. Different countries have different medications that are permitted. For instance, in the United States some medication is not approved that is approved in Europe and vice versa.
