This anti-itch cream is meant for topical use only and should not be applied to broken or damaged skin

DIRECTION

For itching:
Adults may apply a small amount of Itch-Sooth to the affected area 2-3 times everyday, until itching subsides. This product may provide relief for 6-10 hours after each application. If you continue to experience itching after 5 days of using this product, you must consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

For scabies:
ADULTS Take a warm bath and dry the skin. Rub Itch-Soothe Cream into the entire body surface (excluding the face and scalp) until no traces of the preparation remain visible on the surface. Repeat this application once daily, preferably in the evening, for a total of 3-5 days. Pay particular attention to sites that are susceptible to infestation by the mites (eg. the areas between the fingers and toes, wrists, the armpits and genitals). Areas where there is pus formation, should be covered with a dressing impregnated with Itch-Soothe. While the treatment is in progress, you may take a bath before the next application. After completion of the treatment, a cleansing bath should be taken followed by a change of bed linen and clothing.
For children older than 3 years old, the same dosage as for adults may be applied.
