Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I also reviewed your report attached. I understand your concern.

Ivermectin is an anti parasitic medication which can be used to treat scabies.

You can find this medication available in the U.S with this generic name.

It can also be found in Canada with the brand name Mectizan .

You can also use Ivermectin cream for local application.

It is a prescribed medication, so you should consult your doctor before use it.

We cannot give online prescription, so you should consult your doctor about the prescription.

Meanwhile,I can recommend another medication such as Metronidazole (Flagyl). It is also a very effective medication in treating scabies.
