Uses of Scabiwon Cream
Benefits of Scabiwon Cream
In Scabies
Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Scabiwon Cream kills the mites and their eggs present on the skin. This gives relief from itching, swelling and redness. Generally, the cream should be applied to the whole body except the face but follow your doctor’s advice. It should be thoroughly washed off after 8-12 hours. Often one application is enough to treat the condition completely but sometimes a second one may be required a week later. This is because the treatment might kill the mites quickly, but the itching can carry on for a few weeks. Avoid close contact with people to prevent the spread of scabies.
How to use Scabiwon Cream
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How Scabiwon Cream works
Scabiwon Cream is a combination of two medicines: Hydrocortisone and Crotamiton. Hydrocortisone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Crotamiton is an antiparasitic which works by killing the tiny insects (mites) and their eggs, which cause scabies.
