What is Permethrin 5% Cream?
Permethrin 5% Cream is a proven and highly effective topical medication, widely used for the treatment of scabies and other parasitic skin conditions. Formulated with 5% permethrin, this cream targets parasites and effectively eliminates them, offering quick relief from itching, redness, and irritation. Dermatologist-recommended, this product is perfect for those seeking a trusted solution for skin infestations.
Why Choose Permethrin 5% Cream?
With its fast-acting formula, Permethrin 5% Cream is designed to deliver results within just a few treatments. The cream works by disrupting the nervous system of parasitic mites, ultimately causing their death and preventing reinfestation. Its user-friendly application ensures that both adults and children over two months of age can use it safely and effectively, under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Whether you struggle with persistent itching or visible irritation, this versatile cream is the solution you’ve been looking for.
Key Features and Benefits
Effective Parasitic Control: Provides rapid relief from scabies and other mite infestations, addressing the root cause of discomfort.
Dermatologist-Trusted Formula: Permethrin 5% is a widely prescribed concentration by dermatologists for its safety and efficacy.
Easy Application: Applies smoothly, absorbs quickly, and allows for hassle-free treatment sessions.
Suitable for Sensitive Skin: While potent against parasites, the cream is gentle on skin, making it ideal for varied skin types.
How to Use Permethrin 5% Cream
For best results, always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions. Typically, the cream is applied evenly over the affected areas of the skin. Leave it on for the recommended amount of time (usually 8-14 hours) before washing off with water. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth, as the product is intended for external use only. A single application is often sufficient, but additional treatments may be needed in some cases. Do not forget to wash clothing, bedding, and towels to prevent reinfestation.
Reclaim your comfort and confidence with Permethrin 5% Cream—an effective and safe solution for scabies and other uncomfortable skin conditions.
Here are the possible side effects of Permethrin 5% Cream:
-
Common: Mild burning, stinging, itching, redness, or tingling at the application site.
-
Less common: Dry skin, rash, or irritation after use.

Rare: Allergic reactions such as swelling, blistering, or severe itching.
 Itching may continue for a few weeks after treatment, even if the mites are killed — this is normal and not usually a sign that treatment hasn’t worked. If irritation is severe or you notice signs of an allergic reaction, stop using and consult a doctor.
