Brief Answer:
Permethrin cream

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
I treat such cases with a single application of 5 % permethrin cream.
The cream needs to be applied liberally all over body except face and head in evening and to be washed off after 12 hours.
A single application gives good results.
Try this and let me know the response.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
