Scabimide Lotion is prescribed for the treatment of scabies (a condition where tiny insects infest and irritate your skin). Apply a thin layer of this medicine all over the body and leave it for 8-14 hours before taking a bath or shower. Avoid getting it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If this happens, rinse with water immediately. You will still be itchy for a while after successful treatment. If the itching becomes troublesome to you, consult your doctor to ease this. Moisturizing creams can provide temporary relief from itching. Clothes, towels, and bed linen should be machine-washed with hot water after the first application of treatment. This helps kill the scabies mites.
