Does permethin cream clear bumps from scabies on the penis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Make certain that you apply it under the foreskin as well. Permethrin is more effective than topical lindane and less toxic. It is equal in effectiveness to oral ivermectin taken 2 weeks apart. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
