Scabper Cream

Scabper Cream is a topical treatment containing 5% w/w Permethrin, an effective medication used to treat scabies, a contagious skin condition caused by tiny mites. Scabper Cream works by killing the mites and their eggs, providing relief from itching, irritation, and inflammation caused by the infestation. It is highly recommended by healthcare professionals for its proven effectiveness and easy application.

Uses of Scabper Cream

Scabper Cream is primarily used to treat:

• Scabies, a skin condition caused by infestations of the Sarcoptes scabiei mite
• Itching and skin irritation caused by the scabies infestation

How Scabper Cream Works

Permethrin, the active ingredient in Scabper Cream, works by affecting the nervous system of the scabies mites. It disrupts their nerve impulses, causing paralysis and death of the mites and their eggs, thus eliminating the infestation and relieving symptoms like itching and inflammation.

• Relieves intense itching, redness, and irritation associated with scabies

How to Take Scabper Cream

Apply Scabper Cream generously to the affected areas of the body, including areas where scabies mites may have spread (such as between the fingers, under the nails, and around the waist). For adults, it is typically applied to the entire body from the neck down. Leave the cream on for 8 to 12 hours, then wash it off. For best results, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. A second application after one week may be required for severe cases.
