I have scabies and I’ve been battling it since October, I have been to 2 different doctors and a dermatologist and no one seems to want to help me, Or believe me!! I’ve used permethrin 3 times, I’ve cleaned, fumigated my entire house 3 times, washed , cleaned, I’ve tried bleach, tea tree oil, olive oil. I can’t take this much longer.

My personal experience:
Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor. I don't believe this method can harm anyone but I don't know this for a fact so you will have to be responsible for yourself and work through this simple process at your own rate. Cayenne pepper is great for a lot of things but I don't know if it is safe for everyone. Be sure not to get any cayenne pepper in your eyes. It stings. If you get cayenne pepper in your eyes, don't rub your eyes with your fingers. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly to get off all the cayenne pepper and then rinse your eyes well. If you can't get the stinging to stop you may want to find professional help.
I suffered with scabies for 30 days. It was hard for me. I tried a lot of things. I even used an iron to see if I could burn them without burning me.
This is how I successfully got rid of the scabies AND the eggs.
I. I went to the store and bought some cayenne pepper.
2. I jumped in the shower and got all wet.
3. I turned off the water and rubbed cayenne pepper all over my body. I added more water if things seemed to dry out. When my body was wet with water and cayenne pepper, I simply stood in the shower for as long as I could as my body got hotter and hotter. I don't recall how long I stood there before I rinsed with water but I would say it was about 10 - 20 minutes. I believe the acid in the cayenne pepper killed the scabies and melted the scabies eggs.
4. If I remember right, I believe I did it again the following day.
5. The scabies never came back.
6. It's been just over 10 years since this happened.

I understand and sympathise we you... I have seen 3 NHS dermatologist and 1 private over the past 10 years! I have seen a doctor for my mental health because being told its in my head. I know absolutely the signs track marks scratch marks rash on breasts/ buttocks/ back of knees/elbows/ feet and even getting on my neck face and scalp now! I use permethrin practicaly every other day which I have to buy on line and I've bought ivermectin tabs on line but to no avail... it keeps under control but does not get rid I feel some time at my lowest point to just call it a day as it has ruined my life and no one will help me. I am running out of money as the price of permethrin cream as gone up so much and if I can't get it anymore my life will be surely over! It started at 56 years old I am now 66 years and live alone I have had no partner at all.
