Is Permethrin Cream Safe For Children?
Hi, I have a 4 year old grandson that I took to the doctor today for a rash that he has had for a couple of weeks, and the doctor said it was scabies and prescribed a cream called Permethrin 5% I applied it on him from head to toe as I was told but someone told me that cream could be dangerous, he is asleep now should I wake him and give him a bath to remove the cream? It s been on him about 6 hours now
