A comparative study of oral ivermectin and topical permethrin cream in the treatment of scabies. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2000;42:236â40. 20. Mai EC, Green WR, O'Brien TP. Update on therapy of parasitic retinal infections. Ophthalmol Clin North Am.
The mainstay of scabies treatment is the application of topical scabicidal agents, with repeat application in 7 days. The treatment of choice is permethrin 5% lotion. A 2007 Cochrane Review found that topical permethrin appeared to be the most effective treatment for scabies. Alternative drug therapy includes precipitated sulfur 6% in petrolatum, lindane, benzyl benzoate, crotamiton, and ivermectin; a possible new option is albendazole.
