Abstract

Background: Scabies is a common parasitic skin infection in our country. Several medications are effective in treating scabies, among which topical sulfur is considered a safe and cost-effective treatment. BODYMED shower gel helps soothe and moisturize the skin, showing promising support in scabies treatment. Objectives: 1) To describe clinical characteristics of scabies in adult patients; 2) To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of FOB 10 cream in combination with BODYMED shower gel for the treatment of scabies. Materials and methods: A case series study on 60 patients diagnosed with scabies. Results: 96.7% of patients in the study had common scabies, 3.3% had infected scabies. The most affected age group was those aged 60 years and older. All patients reported pruritus, with 83.3% experienced nocturnal itching. The most common lesions were papules, vesicles and burrows. The most common affected area included the abdomen, lower back, genital area and interdigital spaces. The group treated with FOB 10 cream had a comparable outcome compared to the group using FOB 10 cream combined with BODYMED shower gel, however, the latter experienced fewer side effects. Conclusion: Pruritus is present in 100% of adult scabies, the majority of which experienced nocturnal itching. The most common skin lesions are papules, vesicles, and burrows, predominantly located on the abdomen, lower back, genital area, and interdigital spaces. The combination of FOB 10 cream and BODYMED shower gel demonstrates both efficacy and safety, enhancing drug tolerance and minimizing side effects.
