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.

- 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.
