Scabies is curable. This study aimed to determine the relative effectiveness between Gamexan and Permethrine as anti-scabies and effect modification by personal hygiene education. SUBJECT AND METHODS: This was a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, conducted in Malang district. A sample of 40 students aged 12-18 years old from a religious boarding school in Malang district was selected at random for this study. The dependent variable was cure from scabies. The independent variable included anti-scabies (Gamexan and Permethrine), sex, and personal hygiene education. A multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: After controlling for the effects of gender and personal hygiene education, Gamexan was 1/3 less likely to cure scabies than Permethrine (OR= 0.38; 95% CI= 0.12 to 1.19; p= 0.096). Female gender (OR= 8.13; 95% CI= 0.87 to 76.24; p=0.067) and personal hygiene education (OR= 9.37; 95%CI= 2.92 to 30.07; p<0.001) increased the chance of cure. The effect of anti-scabies treatment on cure was modified by personal hygiene and education. The odd of cure with Permethrine was 3 times as many than Gamexan when personal hygiene education was not provided (OR=3.27; 95% CI= 0.80 to 13.35; p= 0.046). The odd of cure with Permethrine was 1.42 times as many than Gamexan when personal hygiene education was provided (OR=1.42; 95% CI= 0.27 to 7.34; p= 0.339). CONCLUSION: Permethrine is three times more effective as anti-scabies than Gamexan when personal hygiene was not provided. This difference in effectiveness between the two anti-scabies treatments was not significant when personal hygiene was provided. Female gender and personal hygiene education increase the chance of cure. Keyword: scabies, Gamexan and Permethrine
