No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

No, SUDO cream is not effective against Scabies. It is only an antiseptic with antibacterial and antifungal property.

Permethrin creams are ones specific for scabies. Oral Ivermectin is also effective.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
