What is scabies?

Scabies is a highly contagious skin condition caused by a parasitic mite known as Sarcoptes scabiei. It spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact and can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. The mites burrow into the top layer of the skin, causing intense itching, a rash, and small red bumps. Scabies is commonly found in areas with close living quarters, such as nursing homes, schools, and prisons. It is important to seek prompt treatment to prevent the spread of scabies to others.

The benefits of using Lyclear Dermal Cream for scabies treatment

Using Lyclear Dermal Cream offers numerous benefits for scabies treatment. Firstly, it provides rapid relief from the intense itching and discomfort caused by scabies. The powerful formula penetrates the skin to reach the mites and eggs, ensuring thorough eradication and preventing further infestation. Lyclear Dermal Cream is also easy to apply and rub in to the skin. Its gentle formulation makes it suitable for most skin types. Sometimes, itching or tingling can result after application, although this can be hard to distinguish from the original symptoms of scabies or crab lice infestation.

How to use Lyclear Dermal Cream effectively

• Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age: Apply up to 30 g of cream (corresponding to one tube)
• Children aged from 6 to 12 years: Apply up to 15 g of cream (corresponding to half of a tube)
• Children aged from 2 years to 5 years: Apply up to 7.5 g of cream (corresponding to a quarter of a tube)
• Children from 2 months to 2 years should only use Lyclear Cream under medical supervision.

To effectively use Lyclear Dermal Cream for scabies treatment, follow these step-by-step instructions:

• Start by thoroughly washing and drying your skin. Ensure that the affected areas are clean and free from any lotions or creams.
• If you take a warm bath prior to treatment, the skin should be allowed to cool before the cream is applied
• Squeeze the required amount of Lyclear Dermal Cream onto your hand. The amount will depend on the size of the area being treated, so refer to the instructions for age related dose of Lyclear Dermal Cream.
• Gently massage the cream into the affected areas. It is not necessary to apply more cream until you can see it on the surface.
• Adults should apply the cream to the whole body including the neck, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The head and face can be spared unless this area includes places affected by scabies (itch mites).
• When applying the cream, the area between the fingers and toes (also under the finger- and toe-nails), the wrists, elbows, armpits, external genitalia and buttocks should be especially carefully treated.
• Leave the cream on for the recommended duration, typically 8 to 12 hours.
• During this time, avoid washing the treated areas or getting them wet. If, by way of an exception, you have to wash your hands within the eight hour period, then reapply the cream to the hands and wrist area. The same applies if you have to wash other parts of treated skin (buttocks, external genitalia).
• After the recommended duration, thoroughly wash off the cream using warm water and mild soap.
• Wash all clothing, bedding, and towels that may have come into contact with the mites, using hot water.

Provided these instructions for use are followed, a single application is generally sufficient for successful treatment. However, in cases of persistent or renewed infestation, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment after 14 days.

Precautions and safety measures when using Lyclear Dermal Cream

Although Lyclear Dermal Cream is generally safe to use, it is important to take certain precautions and follow safety measures to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of adverse effects. Here are some important considerations:

• Lyclear Dermal Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Keep the cream out of reach of children, as excessive ingestion can be harmful.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult with your doctor before using Lyclear Dermal Cream.
• If you have a known allergy to permethrin or any other ingredients in the cream, do not use Lyclear Dermal Cream.
• If you experience any severe skin irritation, rash, or other unusual symptoms after using Lyclear Dermal Cream, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

By following these precautions and safety measures, you can ensure a safe and effective scabies treatment with Lyclear Dermal Cream.

Common side effects and how to manage them

While Lyclear Dermal Cream is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects. These side effects are typically temporary and should resolve on their own. Common side effects include:

• Mild stinging or burning sensation at the application site.
• Temporary redness or itching in the treated areas.

If you experience any of these side effects, do not be alarmed. They are usually a sign that the cream is working to eliminate the scabies mites. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

To manage the side effects, you can try the following:

• Apply a cool compress or take a cool shower to alleviate any discomfort or itching.
• Avoid scratching or rubbing the treated areas, as this can worsen the irritation.
• Use a mild, fragrance-free moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated and prevent excessive dryness.

If you have any concerns or questions about the side effects, do not hesitate to consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
