10 Home Remedies For Scabies
Home Remedy #5: Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper might not actually kill scabies, but there is some indication that it can be useful for helping prevent them from spreading. Cayenne pepper can also be used for helping to alleviate some of the discomfort associated with the condition.
Most people associate cayenne pepper with a burning sensation that occurs when they eat it. However, capsaicin—the active compound that’s responsible for this burning—is actually known to help desensitize the skin. It’s a popular ingredient in a number of topical painkillers and can help ward off some of the discomfort associated with scabies.
