Hi, i'm a 24 year old male. I've been diagnosed with scabies. I have been prescribed with permethrin 5% cream. The doc said to apply on the whole body. But I forgot to ask whether the cream can be applied under the foreskin i.e. Whether it can be applied on the exposed shaft, head and the head of the penis after pulling the foreskin back (i'm uncircumcised).

Yes everywhere below the neck. And keep it overnight and don't forget to dip all your clothes in your room in warm water. If possible give same treatment to who all sharing or resides in your room.
