Frequently asked questions
How do I apply Pernil 5% cream for scabies?
Cover the whole body from the neck down on cool, dry skin, including between fingers and toes, wrists, armpits, genitals and under the nails. Leave it on for 8 to 12 hours, usually overnight, then wash off. Everyone in the house should be treated on the same day.
Why am I still itching after permethrin?
Itching can continue for up to 4 weeks after the mites are dead because of the skin's reaction to them. New burrows or spreading rash after 2 weeks, however, suggest treatment failure or re-infection – see a doctor.
Do I need a second application of Scabper?
Many doctors advise a second application 7 to 14 days after the first to kill any mites that hatched from eggs. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Can permethrin cream be used on babies?
Yes, from 2 months of age under a doctor's supervision, using a smaller amount and including the scalp, face and ears while avoiding the eyes and mouth.
