Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The typical dosage for scabies is applying a thin layer of Elimite cream to all skin surfaces from the neck down, once daily before bedtime, for two consecutive nights. Ensure complete coverage, paying close attention to areas often affected, like skin folds, between fingers and toes, and the groin area.
Washing and Re-application
Wash the cream off thoroughly after eight to fourteen hours, usually in the morning after your second application. Avoid reapplying the cream. This process typically requires two applications over two consecutive days.
Important Considerations
Elimite should not be used on infants or pregnant women, especially during the first trimester. Inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking, as interactions may occur. If irritation develops, immediately discontinue use and seek medical attention.
