How long does scabies take to clear up? I've used permethrin cream for two nights straight, but these itchy rashes are driving me nuts. How can I get rid of them quickly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
-It usually takes 1-2 weeks for scabies to clear up after using permethrin cream. The itching may persist for a few days even after treatment, but if symptoms continue beyond 2 weeks, consult your doctor for further care.

View allI've noticed something odd ever since I shaved my head. I've got way more white hair follicles now, like around 150, whereas before there were just a few, maybe around 10. I'm wondering if my theory about this being connected is right, or if it's just a random coincidence. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how to prevent this?
Your observation is intriguing. Let's explore possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Stress-induced hair growth*: Shaving or tonsuring can cause physical stress, leading to an increase in white hair growth due to the body's response to stress. 2. *Hormonal fluctuations*: Changes in hormone levels, such as an increase in cortisol, can affect hair growth and pigmentation. 3. *Increased blood flow*: Shaving or tonsuring can increase blood flow to the scalp, potentially stimulating hair growth. 4. *Pre-existing condition*: You may have had a pre-existing condition, such as vitiligo or alopecia, that was exacerbated by the shaving or tonsuring process. *Tips to Prevent or Reduce White Hair Growth* 1. *Reduce stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 2. *Maintain a balanced diet*: Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair growth like biotin, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. 3. *Use gentle hair care products*: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos. 4. *Protect your hair from sun damage*: Use a hat or a hair serum with SPF to protect your hair from UV damage. 5. *Consider natural remedies*: Certain natural remedies like amla oil, coconut oil, and rosemary essential oil may help promote hair growth and reduce white hair.
