Hello.
The mnemonic for this itchy disease is the word, "SCABIES" itself. I divided it into two parts, the scabicides and the extra drugs used for pruritus, keratolysis, etc. The mnemonic is the same for both.
Scabicides: "SCaBIes"
S for Sulphur ointment
C for Crotamiton
B for Benzyl benzoate
b flipped upside down looks like a p, for permethrin
I for Ivermectin
I also looks like a L, for Lindane
Extras: "SCAbies"
S for Salicylic acid
S for Salicylates
C for Calamine lotion
C for Corticosteroids
A for Antihistamines
Notes:
Use 5% permethrin.
L looks like 1, so 1% Lindane.
Ivermectin (200 micro g/kg) single oral dose. Patients with crusted Scabies may require two or more doses of ivermectin.
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic; allows good penetration of scabicides.
Antihistamines, salicylates, and calamine lotion relieve itching during treatment, and topical glucocorticoids are useful for the pruritus that lingers after effective treatment.
That's all!
