💡 Quick Answer — What is Scabisin Lotion?
Scabisin Lotion contains permethrin 5% — a topical pyrethroid scabicide and pediculicide for scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei mite infestation) and head lice (Pediculus capitis). For scabies: apply over the entire body from the neck down (and scalp/face in infants), leave on for 8–14 hours, then wash off. Repeat in 7 days. For lice: apply to dry hair, leave 10 minutes, rinse. Permethrin is the WHO-recommended first-line scabicide globally. All household members should be treated simultaneously. Wash all bedding, clothes, and towels in hot water (>60°C) on the same day.

What Scabisin Lotion is and how it works
Scabisin Lotion contains permethrin 5%. Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that disrupts arthropod sodium channels, causing paralysis and death of the mite/louse and its eggs. Mammalian skin metabolises permethrin rapidly so systemic toxicity is very low. It is the WHO-recommended first-line scabicide globally and is preferred over older agents (lindane, malathion) because of its better safety profile. Manufacturer: WHO-GMP certified manufacturer.
Indicaties
- Scabies — Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis infestation; first-line in adults, children, and pregnant/breastfeeding women.
- Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) — first-line topical option.
- Pubic lice (crab lice) — same protocol.
- Crusted (Norwegian) scabies — adjunct to oral ivermectin.
How to apply (scabies)
- Have a bath or shower; pat dry.
- Apply Scabisin Lotion to the entire body from the neck down — paying attention to skin folds (axillae, groin, between fingers and toes, genitals, soles, under nails).
- For infants, pregnant women, and elderly: include face, scalp, and ears (mites can be present there).
- Leave on for 8–14 hours (overnight is ideal).
- Wash off thoroughly the next morning.
- Wash all clothes, bedding, and towels at >60°C on the same day. Items that cannot be washed: seal in a plastic bag for 7 days.
- Repeat the entire treatment 7 days later — to kill mites that hatch from surviving eggs.
- Treat all household members and close contacts simultaneously, even if asymptomatic.
✓ Itch persists after successful treatment — Itching can persist for 2–4 weeks after successful scabies treatment due to ongoing immune reaction to dead mites and their proteins. This is NOT treatment failure. Symptomatic relief: oral antihistamine, mild topical steroid (hydrocortisone 1%) for itch only, emollients. If itch persists beyond 4 weeks or new burrows appear, consider treatment failure or re-infestation.
Bijwerkingen
- Vaak voorkomend: mild burning, stinging, tingling, itching, redness on application — usually mild and transient.
- Minder vaak: mild rash, contact dermatitis.
- Zeldzaam: generalised itch worsening (post-scabies prurito), severe contact allergy.
Contra-indicaties
- Hypersensitivity to permethrin or other pyrethroids/pyrethrins.
- Infants under 2 months — use under specialist guidance.
- Open wounds or extensive eczema (increased absorption).
Pregnancy & breastfeeding
Permethrin 5% topical is considered safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding — minimal systemic absorption, no foetal risk in human studies. It is the preferred scabicide in pregnancy. In breastfeeding, do not apply to nipple and areola immediately before feeding; wash before next feed.
Opslag
Store below 25 °C, away from direct light.
Veelgestelde vragen
How do I know if treatment worked?
Look for: no new burrows or papules appearing 2 weeks post-treatment, gradual reduction in itch over 2–4 weeks. New burrows after 2 weeks suggest treatment failure or re-infestation.
Why repeat after 7 days?
Permethrin kills active mites and most eggs, but some eggs hatch over the following week. The second application kills these emergent mites before they can mate and lay new eggs.
Why does the itch get worse?
Permethrin kills mites; the body reacts to dead mite proteins. Post-scabies prurito can persist 2–4 weeks. Treat with antihistamines and emollients; resist re-applying scabicide unless new burrows appear.
Do I need to treat asymptomatic family members?
Yes — they are usually already infested but in the 4–6 week pre-symptomatic window. Untreated contacts re-infest the family in 4–6 weeks, even after correct treatment.
Can I use Scabisin Lotion on my face?
In infants, elderly, and pregnant women — yes, including face, scalp, and ears, because mites can occur there. In healthy adults — usually only neck-down is needed; face if there are burrows.
Is Scabisin Lotion safe in pregnancy?
Yes — permethrin 5% is the recommended scabicide in pregnancy and breastfeeding because of negligible systemic absorption.
Can I bathe before applying?
A bath or shower 2 hours before is fine. Avoid bathing immediately before — wet skin amplifies absorption and irritation.
What about washing clothes and bedding?
Wash all clothes, bedding, towels worn or used in the past 3 days at >60°C on the day of treatment. Items that cannot be washed: seal in a plastic bag for 7 days (mites die without a host within 72 hours).
How is permethrin different from ivermectin?
Permethrin is topical; ivermectin is oral. Both are highly effective. Oral ivermectin is preferred for crusted scabies, mass-treatment campaigns, and when topical compliance is poor. Topical permethrin is preferred in young children, pregnancy, and uncomplicated scabies.
Can lice come back after treatment?
Re-infestation from untreated contacts or fomites (combs, hats, pillows) is the most common cause. Treat all close contacts and decontaminate combs/brushes/pillowcases.
