Patients with scabies may need to be reexamined at 2 weeks and again at 1 month after treatment. If a patient has persistent lesions at the 1-month check-up, reinfection or persistent infection should be suspected.
Jojoba Protocol. Jojoba oil is a great stand-alone agent as it is moisturizes without clogging pores. After cleansing and toning your face, squeeze five to six drops of jojoba oil into your palm and spread onto your face, using gentle circular motions. You can also mix a few drops with your favorite moisturizer.
You can even use it as lip balm or, for men, as a shaving prep. In its oil form, jojoba makes a great moisturizer and reduces natural moisture loss from skin, says Francesca Fusco, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. Research has shown that jojoba oil is absorbed very rapidly by the skin. Bottom line: Loaded with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin E, and sterols (lipid-like compounds that reduce inflammation and improve skin metabolism), jojoba oil is great for skin.
