My scalp has scabies, concentrated in the centre. How much Scabiped Lotion should I apply, and how often should I use it safely?
The precise dosage and treatment schedule for Scabiped Lotion must be determined by a doctor. The medication contains Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (Lindane), a potent insecticide with potential systemic toxicity if overused, and Cetrimide, an antiseptic that can irritate the skin if applied excessively. Application generally involves covering the affected areas of the scalp, but the exact amount, frequency, and duration depend on the extent of scalp involvement, age, and health status. Safe use requires medical supervision, careful application to avoid the eyes and broken skin, and additional measures such as treating close contacts and cleaning bedding and personal items to prevent reinfestation.
