Condition

Scabies

Scabies is a contagious skin infestation in which tiny mites burrow into the skin, causing intense itching that is often worst at night. Tea tree oil, neem oil, zinc and vitamin C are the supplements people most often look at alongside standard care, but little research on them has been reviewed here so far. Any evidence that exists is limited, so it is too early to say how much they might add.
