What Is The Treatment For Spreading Rash Despite Applying Permethrin?
My wife was seen by a doctor yesterday for a rash. She was given an injection of cortisone. She was prescribed Permethrin cream. The directions say to apply to the entire body and wash away after 8-10 hours. She did not read the directions before applying and only applied to the rash area. That area has now cleared and the rash has moved to a new area. She then read the directions for use. Can she reapply as directed tonight when she gets off work or does she need to wait a few days?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Yes, she can apply on the next night itself on all areas except face and wash it off in the morning.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
