About Scaboma Cream
Scaboma Cream belongs to a class of medications called ‘antiparasitic drugs’ used to treat scabies and pediculosis. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites. Pediculosis is the infestation of lice in the hairy parts of the body, especially the scalp. These conditions are contagious and spread from one person to another with direct contact. Symptoms include rashes and persistent itching in the infected area, which worsens in the night-time.
