Next Steps
Prepare your skin: Ensure your skin is clean, dry, and cool. Do not take a hot bath or shower immediately before applying, as this can increase absorption into your bloodstream rather than keeping it on the skin surface.
Apply thoroughly: Massage the cream into all skin surfaces from the neck down to the soles of your feet.
Crucial areas: Don't skip skin folds, including between fingers and toes, underarms, groin, belly button, and the cleft of the buttocks.
Nails: Use a toothpick or old toothbrush to apply cream under your fingernails and toenails, as mites often hide there.
Head and Face: Generally not required for healthy adults, but must be applied to the scalp, forehead, and temples for infants (2 months+), the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems.
Leave it on: Keep the cream on for 8 to 14 hours. Most people apply it at bedtime and wash it off the next morning.
Re-apply if washed: If you wash your hands (or any treated area) within the 8–14 hour window, you must re-apply the cream immediately to those spots.
Wash off: After the required time, wash the cream off thoroughly in a cool shower or bath.
