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.

Scaboma Cream contains ‘Gamma benzene hexachloride’ (also called Lindane). It is an antiparasite and acts by killing mites and lice and their eggs by penetrating the skin. It is recommended to use only if you have scabies and pediculosis. Scaboma Cream doesn't help to prevent these conditions.

Scaboma Cream is only for external use. You should use Scaboma Cream exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Scaboma Cream may cause side effects such as dryness, rash, itching, or burning sensation in the treated area. Most of these side effects of Scaboma Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or get worse, please consult your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to use Scaboma Cream if you are allergic to any of its contents. Scaboma Cream should not be used for people who have had any seizure episodes (fits). Inform your doctor if you have. Before taking Scaboma Cream, inform your doctor if you have AIDS/HIV or liver cirrhosis, alcoholism, history of head injury, spinal cord, or brain tumor. It is not recommended for premature babies, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and elderly people. It is not known whether the Scaboma Cream can interact with alcohol. So, please consult your doctor. Scaboma Cream may not affect your ability to drive.

Uses of Scaboma Cream

Directions for Use

Scabies: Apply a thin layer of 1% topical preparation to all skin surfaces, from the neck to the toes, if you have scabies. After 8 to 12 hours, thoroughly wash the substance off the body with warm water.Pediculosis: Apply 30–60 ml of 1% shampoo to dry hair for pediculosis. The amount needed for most patients will be 30 mi (up to 60 ml), depending on the length of their hair. Massage into hair for 4 minutes, then add a little water at a time to create a lather. Right away, rinse thoroughly until no more suds are visible. Use a fine-toothed comb to comb the hair after it has dried. Most of the time, a single treatment is adequate; if not, another pediculicide may be used in a week.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Scabies: It is a skin condition caused by mites known as Sarcoptes scabiei. It causes an itchy skin rash and is contagious (spreads from one person to another person). These tiny mites crawl under the skin and live on the skin for months laying eggs, and causing severe itching. Scabies spreads easily throughout the body except for the head. Hence, it should be treated quickly. The most commonly seen symptom is an intensely itchy rash that worsens at night. People who live in nursing homes, university halls of residence, or nurseries are at more risk of spreading scabies from person to person due to close contact.

Pediculosis: It is the infection caused by the parasite, Pediculus humanus. It is an ectoparasite and feeds on blood. It infects the hairy parts of the body, such as the scalp and pubic area. In this condition, lice attach to the scalp and lay eggs at the base of the hair. It can be easily transmitted from one person to another through direct contact. The symptom includes intense itching or scratching at the affected area.
