Overview Pedimite 5% Cream

Scabies, a skin infestation caused by microscopic mites, responds effectively to treatment with Permethrin 5% Cream. This antiparasitic cream eliminates both adult mites and their eggs. Application instructions and dosage will be provided by your physician; always carefully follow the accompanying leaflet. Ensure your skin is clean, dry, and at room temperature before application. A thorough body wash is recommended 8-14 hours post-application. While single application often suffices, a second application may be necessary after at least 7 days if directed by your doctor. Post-treatment itching, sometimes lasting several weeks, typically results from an allergic reaction to dead mites and doesn't indicate treatment failure. Common, generally mild, side effects may include localized burning, stinging, or tingling. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing skin conditions, allergies (medications, foods, or other substances), or asthma before use. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using this medication, despite its generally safe profile.
