  • Permethrin during pregnancy

    8 months gestational mother-to-be needing to be treated for scabies. Therefore, requiring 5% permetherin for 8-12 hours of skin contact vs 1% to the scalp for 10 minutes then rinsing for lice. Any information or advice?

    Cheryl:

    Go with the permethrin product as per the CDC in pregnant women.

    But ALL skin surfaces must be treated, not just the scalp.
