Permesol Soap — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Permethrin 1% w/w medicated soap (typical; confirm on pack label)

Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that paralyzes and kills mites/lice by disrupting their nerve cell sodium channels. This leads to elimination of the parasites and relief from infestation-related itching over time.

For external use only. Wet skin, apply soap to affected areas and lather well; leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use as directed by a physician (often once daily for a few days along with scabies treatment for close contacts and washing of clothes/linen). Avoid eyes, mouth, and broken skin.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
