A member asked:
Am i suppose to keep applying premethrin cream to my scabies everyday or just one time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scabies: You should only use the cream as directed. Usually just one time. Just apply one time at night and then wash off in the morning. You might get a rash from the med if you use it every day and absorb too much of it.
