A member asked:

Is permetherin avaiable over-the-counter ? looking for over-the-counter treatments for scabies.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nix, (permethrin) : Nix, which is used to treat head lice, contains permethrin. But, it is a creme rinse for the hair and not the same percentage as that which has been shown to work for scabies so i would recommend you see a dermatologist for Elimite cream. Read more about scabies, see a sample picture, and treatment options at the link below. I hope that helps!
