Benefits of Crotorax HC Cream

In Scabies
Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Crotorax HC Cream kills the mites and their eggs present on the skin. This gives relief from itching, swelling and redness. Generally, the cream should be applied to the whole body except the face 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 is because the treatment might kill the mites quickly, but the itching can carry on for a few weeks. Avoid close contact with people to prevent the spread of scabies.
