Can the ingredient phenylephrine that's found in hemmorhoidal creme be effective against scabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scabies: No. Phenlyephrine is used for its vasoconstrictor properties to decrease inflammation. You will need a scabicide to get rid of scabies. See your dermatologist if you don't know for sure what you have.
