Permethrin 5% Cream Reviews

4.2 Rating 157 Reviews
Not sure it even worked. Also I paid a lot of extra money for Saturday delivery, and it didn’t turn up until about 3 days after. Not great considering I’d timed it perfectly with going away as to give me the best chance at being cured. The failed Saturday promise compromised my treatment entirely and now I’m not entirely sure what the efficacy was.

Hi Zaffar Thank you for leaving your review, we love to hear from all of our patients at this helps us know the treatments which really help ease the symptoms that they are designed to treat. The cream is a topical scabies treatment. It works by killing the mites that cause a scabies infection and usually only requires one application to completely clear the mites. For the best results; Permethrin cream should be applied to cool, dry skin. Do not apply the cream to broken skin or immediately after a hot bath or shower. Once applied, the cream should be left on for at least 8 hours and washed off with soap and water within 12 hours. You should re-apply Permethrin Cream to the hands if they are washed with soap and water within 8 hours of applying the treatment. Normally, a single application of the cream is enough to clear a scabies infection. However, sometimes, there is a chance that there is a second treatment would be required should some lice have hatched after the initial treatment, or there is a secondary infection. It is also worth considering that everyone in the household will require treatment to help ensure the infection is eradicated. Should a further treatment not be successful; you may wish to speak with your GP to discuss your symptoms in more detail. We do always want patients to be happy with the treatment received, and therefore our support team have contacted you directly to help further.

This is the third time I have attempted to use this cream without total success. My local GP prescribed Benzyl Benzoate which cleared the scabies.
