Crotamiton-Hydrocortisone 10%-0.25%-10g (Cream) Uses

Crotamiton-Hydrocortisone Cream is prescribed to:

  • Treat scabies infestations by eliminating mites and relieving itching.
  • Manage and relieve skin inflammation and itching associated with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or allergic reactions.

How Crotamiton-Hydrocortisone 10%-0.25%-10g (Cream) Works

  • Crotamiton works by exerting a scabicidal effect, killing the mites responsible for scabies. It also acts as an antipruritic to relieve itching by blocking the action of irritants on nerve endings.
  • Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by suppressing immune responses and blocking the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation and irritation.

How to Use Crotamiton-Hydrocortisone 10%-0.25%-10g (Cream)

  • Clean and dry the affected area before application.
  • Apply a thin layer of the cream to the entire body from the neck down, focusing on all creases and folds of the skin. For scabies treatment, it is typically applied once daily, with a second application 24 hours later as recommended by a healthcare provider.
  • For other itching and inflammation-related conditions, apply to the affected area 2-3 times daily as directed by your doctor.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after applying the cream, unless the hands are the treated area.
  • Avoid covering the treated areas with bandages or other dressings unless directed by a doctor.
