A member asked:
Is lindane lotion for scabies treatment safe to use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It has side effects: and should not be used if you have a history of seizures, but it works, so discuss side effects with your doctor, and if it's the medication you need, be aware of side effects most are rare
