Trust & Pharmacist Advice

Scabies is caused by microscopic mites that burrow beneath the skin, leading to intense itching and a widespread rash. Successful treatment depends not only on using the medicine correctly but also on treating all close household members and intimate contacts at the same time, even if they do not yet have symptoms. This helps prevent reinfestation.

After treatment, wash clothing, bedding and towels according to public health guidance. Itching may continue for several weeks after the mites have been eliminated due to the body's ongoing allergic response and does not necessarily mean treatment has failed. Avoid scratching where possible, as broken skin may become infected. If symptoms persist, worsen or signs of infection develop, consult your GP or pharmacist. Ovelle Benzyl Benzoate should only be used externally and should not be applied to broken or inflamed skin unless advised by a healthcare professional.
