Catalogue categories: Skin Care · Scabies treatment (existing fungal category is inaccurate)
HHMite is listed as a permethrin topical cream. Permethrin 5% cream is a first-line treatment for scabies in many guidelines, but the exact concentration of this listing must be checked on the manufacturer pack before applying those directions. Scabies is a parasitic mite infestation, not a fungal infection.
Permethrin affects mite nerve function, helping eliminate the scabies mite when prescribed correctly.
For a verified 5% scabies product, CDC guidance describes applying the cream to prescribed body areas and washing it off after 8–14 hours, with further treatment sometimes needed. Infants and other groups require age-specific guidance. Contacts and contaminated linens may also need management.
Avoid eyes and mucous membranes. Temporary itch can continue even after successful treatment; new burrows or persisting symptoms may require reassessment. Do not use an unverified concentration or substitute a different permethrin product.
