Can a permethrin 1% solution beeffective against scabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scabies: Apply a mite-killer like Permethrin (elimite). These creams are applied from the neck down, left on overnight, then washed off. This application is usually repeated in seven days. Permethrin is approved for use in people 2 months of age and older.
