Hello
Scabies is a mite infestation. It is treated with 5% Permethrin cream applied overnight. The treatment may be required to be repeated after 7 days. Everybody in the household will require treatment. Additionally, bedding, carpets, clothes, towels etc should be thoroughly washed in hot water and exposed to sunlight.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
