It is contagious and spreads from one person to another with physical contact.

Scabovate Soap contains Permethrin, which works by killing the small insects (mites) and their eggs that cause scabies. It also destroys head lice, which stick to your scalp and cause irritation.

Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, consult the doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Children below six years, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before using Permethrin. The infected area should be kept clean and dry before applying the medicine.

It inactivates the nerve membrane and paralyses the insects, eventually killing them. It can also kill the nits and eggs of the insect.
