Yes coconut oil is good for scabies and is well known for its skin penetrating qualities. Another oil that is good is olive oil, it may seem weird but it is known as a home remedy for scabies and other skin related ailments. I would definitely try both and see which works best.

Yes, coconut oil is good for scabies. You can dry coconut at your home, dry it and make coconut oil from a mill. Another best thing is, grind coconut, squeeze and take coconut milk. Boil it for few minutes till the water content is lost. This is best for scabies.
