Apply: "as directed" to the areas she is scratching! Avoid face/eyes...... Hope this helps Dr Z

Really: I have never seen scabies in a 2 month old in more than 3 decades of pediatric practice. The meds we use for older kids and adults can be toxic when applied to infants. Without knowing what medicine you are asking about I cannot recommend you use it.
