Scabicos Bar is a medicated soap designed
to treat scabies, a highly contagious skin condition caused by tiny mites that
burrow into the skin and lay eggs. The medication works by targeting and
killing these insects (mites) and their eggs. It is often prescribed as part of
a treatment regimen, sometimes in combination with creams or lotions, and for
continuous use post-treatment to prevent recurrence.

Usage Instruction of Scabicos Bar:
Always
follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor or the product
leaflet. General usage instructions typically involve:
Ø Preparation: Ensure
your skin is clean, dry, and cool before use. Avoid hot baths or showers
immediately before application as it may increase the risk of side effects.
Ø Application: Lather
the soap and apply it to the whole body, usually from the neck down, including
areas between the fingers and toes, under nails, and on the soles of the feet.
For babies and young children, the face, neck, ears, and scalp may also need
treatment, avoiding the immediate area around the eyes and mouth.
Ø Duration: Leave
the lather on the skin for the recommended period, typically 8 to 14 hours,
before washing it off thoroughly. Reapply to any area that might be washed
during this time (e.g., hands after washing).
Ø Frequency: Most
people only require one application, but your doctor may advise a second
application after at least 7 days if necessary.
Ø Hygiene: On the day of
treatment, all bed linen, night clothes, and towels should be washed in hot
water.

Side
effects are usually mild and temporary, and not everyone experiences
them.

tingling sensation where the soap is applied.
