The typical treatment for scabies involves applying 5% permethrin cream or lotion (Elimite) to a child's entire body from the neck down. Keep in mind that infants may need to have their head treated too, including their hairline and scalp. The cream or lotion is left on for 8-14 hours and then washed off and then a second treatment may be needed a week later. Close contacts, including all family members, should also be treated at the same time.Although the Elimite will kill the mites, your child may also need treatment for the rash. This can include topical steroid creams, oral antihistamines, and other anti-itch treatments.Since the mites can live for 48-72 hours on clothing, bedding, towels, etc., should be washed in hot water and then dried in a hot dryer. Things that can't be washed can be placed in a plastic bag for a few weeks to make sure the mites have died. Furniture and carpeting should also be vacuumed carefully. IN OTHER WORDS NO HE IS FINE HE DOESNT NEED TO BE ISOLATED
