Topical treatments, like permethrin cream, are often the first line of defense .It is applied to the entire body (from the neck down) and left on for a specified time before washing off.
Benzyl benzoate lotion: May be used, particularly in cases of crusted scabies
Both are used to kill mites and eggs .
Both should not be used together..
Use permethrin for one week twice a day and secodn application one week later .
