Lyclear Scabies Cream 30g

Lyclear Scabies Cream is indicated for the treatment of scabies in adults. Scabies is an itchy skin disorder that leads to a rash. It is caused by an infestation with a parasite - the scabies mite.  Scabies is contagious and spreads to others through close skin-to-skin contact.

Lyclear cream is used to treat infestations of scabies on the body. It kills the mites in their burrows and contains no colour agents or fragrance. The cream is absorbed completely into the skin and leaves no residue.

Permethrin 5% w/w & 0.3% w/w Formaldehyde Solution as a preservative.

Two applications of treatment are needed, one week apart. Apply a thin layer of the cream over your whole body including your face, neck, scalp and ears, but try to take care not to get any into your eyes. Pay special attention to the areas where mite burrows can commonly occur - the front of your wrists and elbows, beneath your breasts, your armpits, and around the nipples in women.

Leave the cream on for 8-12 hours for scabies, or 12 hours (overnight) for crab lice. After this time, you should remove the treatment from your skin by having a bath or a shower. If you need to wash your hands during the treatment time, remember to re-apply some cream to your hands afterwards.

Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist please see your healthcare professional.
