hi . I did review your concern. Mebendazole is a orally taken drug to kill certain types of helminths in body. I dont think they would work as a local application in the form they are manufactured. better would be to use something like a BHC paste as they can act locally and potentially kill the parasites without much harm to your skin.
I hope this helps.
thank you. have a great day
