In an open, non-comparative study carried out between August and December 2002 at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, 5 patients with scabies were successfully treated with crude gel of Aloe vera; thereafter the efficacy of the extract was compared with that of benzoate lotion among 30 patients. Sixteen patients were treated with Aloe vera and 14 patients had benzyl benzoate lotion. Itching was still present in 3 patients in the benzyl benzoate group and in 2 patients in the Aloe vera group after 2 courses of treatment. The scabietic lesions virtually disappeared in all of them. None of these patients had any noticeable side effects. It is concluded that Aloe vera gel is as effective as benzyl benzoate in the treatment of scabies.
在 2002 年 8 月至 12 月于尼日利亚伊费的奥巴费米·阿沃洛沃大学教学医院综合大楼进行的一项开放、非对照研究中，5 例疥疮患者成功地用纯芦荟凝胶治疗；此后，将提取物的疗效与苯甲酸洗剂在 30 例患者中的疗效进行了比较。16 例患者接受了芦荟治疗，14 例患者使用了苯甲酸苄酯洗剂。在 2 个疗程后，苯甲酸苄酯组仍有 3 例患者和芦荟组仍有 2 例患者存在瘙痒。所有这些患者的疥疮病变几乎都消失了。这些患者均无明显的副作用。结论是，芦荟凝胶在治疗疥疮方面与苯甲酸苄酯同样有效。
