Treatment Plan

  • Skin scraping and microscopic examination
  • Ivermectin or similar antiparasitic treatment (weekly)
  • Antibiotics (for secondary infections)
  • Regular bathing with medicated shampoo
  • Wound care and antiseptic applications
  • Immune-supporting vitamins

Current Condition Treatment has just begun. Skin sensitivity is still ongoing. Recovery will take time (1–3 months). Regular care and isolation are essential.
