Product Introduction
- Crotamiton Cream is an antipruritic and scabicidal medication designed to treat scabies, a condition where tiny insects infest and irritate your skin. This cream works by killing both the mites and their eggs, effectively relieving itching and skin irritation.
- Your doctor will provide instructions on how to use Crotamiton Cream and the appropriate dosage. Make sure to read the accompanying instructions to ensure proper usage. Typically, you should apply the cream to your entire body, excluding your head, mouth, eyes, and face. Before applying, ensure your skin is clean, dry, and cool. After the last application, take a cleansing bath after 48 hours to remove any remaining medication from your skin. Additionally, change your clothes, towels, and bed sheets after each application to prevent the spread of infection.
- The most common side effects include mild burning, stinging, or tingling at the application site. These side effects are usually mild, and not everyone experiences them. Itching may persist for a few weeks after treatment due to an allergic reaction to dead mites, which is not an indication of treatment failure.
Consult your doctor before using this cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Benefits of Crotamiton Cream
In Scabies
Scabies is a skin condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Crotamiton Cream acts as an anti-parasite treatment by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs. Generally, you should apply the cream to your entire body, except for your face and head, following your doctor’s instructions.
Wash off the cream thoroughly after 8-12 hours. Often, one application is sufficient to treat the condition, but sometimes a second application may be needed a week later. This treatment effectively reduces the itching, swelling, and redness caused by mites, although dead mites may continue to cause itching for some time.
