Scabies Treatment: Benzyl benzoate is commonly used topically to treat scabies, a skin condition caused by mites.
Scabicidal Action: Benzyl benzoate kills the mites responsible for scabies by penetrating their exoskeleton and interfering with their respiratory processes.
Application:
The lotion is typically applied to the entire body, as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
It is often left on for a specific period and then washed off.
Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes.
Do not use on open wounds or irritated skin without consulting a healthcare professional.
Not recommended for use in infants under 2 months old.
Skin irritation, redness, or a mild burning sensation may occur.
Allergic reactions are possible but uncommon.
The dosage and application instructions should be followed as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
It is crucial to use the lotion as directed and complete the full course of treatment.
Note: Benzyl benzoate lotions are prescription medications, and their use should be supervised by a healthcare professional. Follow the prescribed dosage, application instructions, and consult with a healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions or have concerns about the treatment. Scabies treatment may involve other measures such as washing bedding and clothing to prevent re-infestation.
