The tea tree oil is proven to kill scabies mites, and the body lotion is perfect for diluting it and carrying it into the skin. If you’re suffering from scabies, I recommend using a mixture of regular body lotion and tea tree oil. Soak in the bath for about 15-20 minutes (you can extend this up to 40 minutes after a few times, just gauge how your skin reacts with each longer bath), then get out and moisturize right away!!!Īs I said, bleach is not good for your skin, so moisturizing is a good way to protect it afterwards. If you can’t smell anything at all when you get you get out, you didn’t put enough.
A good litmus test for a scabies bleach bath is that it should make you smell like you’ve just gone for a swim at the YMCA. This will be enough to kill surface mites, but not so strong that it will damage your skin.
Add 2-4 cups of regular household bleach, depending on the size of the bath.
Fill up a bath with warm water, enough to cover your shoulders.
