Crotamiton

Crotamiton is used to treat a painful skin infection called scabies that is caused by mites. The symptoms of scabies include extreme irritation of the skin surface, itching, and the flare up of small pus-filled itchy bumps on the skin that look like blisters. It helps to reduce the itching and provide relief from the tingling sensation on the skin.

The drug works by killing the mites that are known to burrow deep into the skin and keep spreading the infection. This may be used to alleviate any other related skin problems as well.

It is applied topically on the skin surface, but cannot be used near the eyes, nose, mouth, vagina or any open cuts and wounds that are still raw and may ooze out fluid. In case of pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, the medicine should be used only as and when needed, with proper advice of the doctor.
