Question 3

Can I get Elimite cream over the counter?

Accepted Answer

Elimite (permethrin) is a prescription medication and is not available over the counter. You will need to see a doctor to get a valid prescription for it. While lower-strength products, including permethrin 1%, are available over the counter for treating head lice, they are not the same formulation as Elimite.

Question 4

Are Elimite and permethrin the same?

Accepted Answer

Elimite is a brand name for a prescription cream that contains 5% permethrin as its active ingredient. It is specifically used to treat scabies in humans. While they both contain the same medication, the concentration and intended use differ. Whether you buy Elimite online or permethrin OTC, consult a doctor first.

Question 5

Can spots still appear after using Elimite for scabies treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, spots can appear even after using Elimite cream for scabies. This happens due to the body’s allergic reaction to dead mites. Since the skin needs time to heal, the spots tend to continue sometimes after the treatment. However, if the symptoms continue or worsen, seek immediate medical attention.

Question 6

Do I need to wash my sheets after using Elimite for scabies treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you must wash your sheets after using Elimite cream to kill scabies mites and prevent reinfestation, as the mites can survive off the human body for 2-3 days. Wash the bedding and clothing with hot water and dry on high heat. Items that cannot be washed should be kept in plastic bags for at least 72 hours to kill any mites.
