I have scabies on my head (I have long hair) and on my face. What medications can I use for scabies? I have long hair and the usual ointments fall off because I would have to shave bald, and I don't want that. What to do in this case?

In order to cure scabies, I encourage you to consult a doctor. You can also use teleadvice via, for example, the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

The doctor will select the appropriate therapeutic treatment for you.
Until you consult a doctor, you can use over-the-counter preparations available in online pharmacies and stationary ones. Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order preparations with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy.
