Scabies refers to a contagious skin disease caused by the invasion of scabies mites on the human body, which occurs within the epidermal layer of the skin. If a pregnant woman is infected, it may spread to the fetus, so timely treatment is very important. However, how should pregnant women be treated for scabies and whether surgery is needed? Therefore, some pregnant women want to know what surgery for scabies in pregnant women means?
If pregnant women suffer from scabies, they may show papules or blisters on soft areas of the skin, as well as itching nodules in the scrotum. The itching symptoms may worsen at night due to the strong activity of scabies at night. Once diagnosed, active treatment is the key to cure. However, scabies treatment mainly relies on medication combined with dietary therapy, and does not require surgery.
In addition to treating scabies, preparations that kill scabies worms are mainly used. If the disease is only caused by the pregnant woman herself, follow the doctor's instructions to apply effective medication. When applying medication, the entire body should be applied from the neck down. For skin areas with concentrated rashes, multiple repeated applications should be made, and appropriate pressure and friction can be applied to promote drug absorption. After drug treatment, if no new skin lesions appear for more than 2 weeks, it can be considered cured.
But if new skin lesions still appear, pregnant women need to continue seeking medical treatment. For pregnant women with more severe symptoms, they need to take some antihistamines under the guidance of a doctor. For those with secondary infections, they need to take antibiotics. If family members are also sick, they need to be treated at the same time. After the disease is cured, they need to take a bath with hot water soap, change their clothes and bedding, boil them in water for disinfection or hot wash and expose them to the sun.
