Permite is a trusted permethrin cream formulation—permethrin 5 cream—used to effectively eliminate scabies mites and their eggs. Apply as a thin layer across the body (typically from the neck down) and leave it on for 8–14 hours before washing off. A single application often suffices, though a second dose after 7 days may be recommended to ensure complete eradication and prevent reinfestation. Common side effects, such as mild burning, redness, or itching at the site, are usually temporary. Always follow medical advice for usage and timing.
