lyclear 5% dermal cream 30g

How to use Lyclear Dermal Cream Permethrin 5% W/W: 

Lyclear Dermal Cream is for external use only.

• Avoid contact with the eyes. In the event of eye contamination,
  rinse with water immediately. Ensure the skin is clean, dry and cool. Do
  not take a hot bath immediately before treatment. The cream rubs easily
  into the skin. You do not need to keep applying more cream until it can
  be seen on the surface of the skin. If the contents of the tube are
  swallowed by a child, talk to your doctor immediately. If too much cream
  is applied, it should be washed off with soap and warm water. If there
  are any signs of irritation, talk to your doctor.
• Usually a single application clears the infestation. If you are in doubt about the success of treatment, talk to your doctor.

Treatment of scabies:

• Adults and children over 2 years old should apply the cream to the
  skin over the whole body including the palms and soles, but not the head
  and face. Pay particular attention to the areas between the fingers and
  toes (including under the finger and toe nails), wrists, arm-pits,
  external genitals and buttocks.
• Babies and children under 2 years old should be treated as above and
  also have their necks, faces, ears and scalps treated. Avoid the area
  around the mouth (as the cream could be licked off) and around the eyes.
  Children between 2 months and 2 years should only be treated under
  medical supervision.
• Elderly (over 65 years old) should apply as directed for adults and
  children over 2 years old but should also include their necks, faces,
  ears and scalps. Care must be taken to avoid applying the Cream to areas
  close to the eyes.

The cream should be left on for at least 8 hours then washed off with soap and water not more than 12 hours later.

Re-apply the Cream to hands if they are washed with soap and water within 8 hours of treatment.

Warnings

• Permethrin Cream is for external use only and should be kept out of reach of children.
• Permethrin is not an eye irritant but contact with the eyes should
  be avoided because the cream itself may cause marked irritation;
  however, in the event of inadvertent eye contamination, the affected
  area should be rinsed immediately with plenty of water or, if readily
  available, normal saline.
• Nursing staff who routinely apply Permethrin Cream may wish to wear gloves to avoid any possible irritation to the hands.
• There is an increasing body of data specifically relating to the use
  of Permethrin Cream for the treatment of scabies in the elderly and in
  view of these data it is considered that there is no need for any
  special precautions for use in this age group.
