A member asked:
Is it possible for me to apply permethrin cream everyday until scabies is gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Permethrin cream: You should read the info on national institutes of health online www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a698037. This 5% cream may be used more than once but is generally unnecessary. The itching may persist for a long time even after the mites have been killed.
