Benefits of Proscab Lotion

In Scabies

Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Proscab Lotion is an anti-parasite medicine. It works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs. Generally, the cream should be applied to the whole body except the face but follow your doctor’s advice. It should be thoroughly washed off after 8-12 hours. Often one application is enough to treat the condition completely but sometimes a second one may be required a week later.
