Dangers of using permethrin cream repeatedly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on variables: This is basically a bug killer, like what is in your handy bug spray. Repeated applications to the skin, especially if the skin barrier is broken down by infection, infestation or burns could lead to the toxic material entering your blood.
