Permethrin is an over-the-counter medication used to treat scabies, which is a condition caused by mites that infest and irritate your skin. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as pyrethrins and works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs.
Permethrin comes in the form of a medicated topical cream which is meant for use on the skin only. Apply this medication over the entirety of your body, including under your nails and in the folds of your skin. Gently massage this cream into your skin. You can wash off this cream after 8 to 14 hours. Do not allow this medication to get into your nose, eyes, vagina, or mouth. Wash with wash and consult with your doctor if it accidentally makes contact with any of these areas.
While Permethrin may kill all the mites on your body, the presence of dead mites may still cause you to itch for up to four weeks after treatment. Talk to your doctor about other medications that may be prescribed to soothe the itching. Check with your doctor if your condition persists or worsens after two weeks of treatment.
The use of Permethrin may lead to unwanted side effects such as skin irritation, swelling, redness, and itching. Mild burning and tingling may also occur. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any of these effects and they persist or worsen.
Serious allergic reactions to this medication are usually rare. However, you should seek immediate medical attention if you begin to experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as itching, rash, swelling in your face or throat, severe dizziness, tightness in your chest, or trouble breathing.
Speak with your doctor or healthcare professional for full medical advice on the risks and benefits involved with using Permethrin as this is not a complete list of side effects.
