How to take
//Adult//, apply undiluted. //Infant//, dilute with 3 parts of water. //Child <12 years//, dilute with an equal quantity of water. Test on small area of skin for 10 minutes before using. If excessive stinging occurs, dilute with an equal quantity of water, then retest before using. Apply to cool skin (not hot after bathing) from chin down and wash off 24 hours later. Repeat after 5 days (reduces possibility of treatment failure). Also apply to the scalp, neck, face and ears in children <2 years, elderly or immunocompromised people, people who have had treatment failure or those with atypical or crusted scabies.

Other advice?
- Do not use on face unless advised by your doctor; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and inside your nose. - Improvement usually occurs within 1 or 2 days of treatment. - Itch may persist for 2–3 weeks after scabies treatment (7–10 days after lice treatment); this may not be ongoing infection. Applying a moisturiser may help. See a doctor if itching continues after this time. - benzyl benzoate has been superseded by more effective products (50% cure rate with benzyl benzoate versus 80% with permethrin) - traditionally applied after a bath, but this is unnecessary and may increase transdermal absorption (removes drug from site of action and increases risk of systemic toxicity) - application to the face and genitals is irritant; an alternative agent may be preferable [|winkwhitebodylotion]
