Permite is a trusted permethrin cream—specifically the permethrin 5 cream—available in a convenient 30 g tube. It acts as a powerful scabicide and lice treatment by killing mites, lice, and their eggs. Apply a thin layer over the affected skin (usually from the neck down), leave on for 8–14 hours, then wash off. Typically, one application suffices, but a second dose after one week may be recommended. Mild side effects like redness, itching, or burning at the application site are usually temporary. Always use as directed by a healthcare professional.
