About Scabigard-P Lotion
Scabigard-P Lotion is an effective antiparasitic treatment used to manage scabies, a skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching and irritation. This lotion works by killing both the mites and their eggs, providing relief from the symptoms of scabies. In most cases, only one application is needed, though a second dose may be required after a week in some instances. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions on how to apply the lotion and how long to leave it on your skin before washing it off.
