Take off the clothes in bathroom apply permethrine soap all over body , rinse till leathers .
Now wait for 5 minute , wash with lukewarm water .
Now clean your whole body with a towel , till completely dry .
Now apply gammabezene hcl lotion all over body except on the mouth and lips , put on clothes .
On next morning , take bath with permethrine soap . put on clothes ( better if washed in boiled water with anti septic solution ) .
All your apparels like , clothes , bed sheets , towel put into boiled water , boil for 5-10 minutes , dry .
In the evening take bath with same soap , apply gammabenzne solution same way .
Do it for three consecutive days.
