PERMIN CREAM contains Permethrin which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-parasitic agents. It is indicated for the treatment of scabies, pediculosis (lice) and crab louse infections.
Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Permin Cream is an anti-parasite medicine. It works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs. Generally, the cream should be applied to the whole body except the face and head but follow your doctor’s advice. It should be thoroughly washed off after 8-12 hours. Often one application is enough to treat the condition completely but sometimes a second one may be required a week later. This will get rid of the itching, swelling, and redness caused by mites. However, dead mites may still make you itch for some time.
