Overview Smite 5% Cream
DermaClear 5% Cream combats parasitic skin infestations. Specifically, it's indicated for scabies, an irritating skin condition caused by microscopic mites. This medication eradicates both adult mites and their eggs. Your physician will provide detailed application instructions and dosage information. Always carefully review the accompanying patient leaflet for correct usage. Apply to clean, dry, and cool skin. A thorough body wash is recommended 8-14 hours post-application. While typically a single application suffices, a second treatment may be necessary after a minimum 7-day interval. Post-treatment itching, often lasting several weeks, is usually an allergic response to dead mites and not a treatment failure. Minor burning, stinging, or tingling at the application site are common, though mild and not universally experienced. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing skin conditions, allergies (medications, food, or other substances), or asthma prior to use. While generally safe, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using this cream.
