Product introduction
Scabper Soap is an antiparasitic medication. It is used to treat scabies, a condition where tiny insects infest and irritate your skin. This medicine works by killing the insects (mites) and their eggs.
Your doctor will explain how to use Scabper Soap and how much you need. Read the instructions that come with the medicine carefully to ensure correct use. The skin should be clean, dry, and cool before application. The whole body should be washed thoroughly 8–12 hours after using this medicine.
Most people need only a single application to treat scabies; however, if a second application is required, it should be used no sooner than 7 days after the first. Itching may continue for up to 4 weeks after treatment and is usually due to an allergic reaction to dead mites rather than treatment failure.
The most common side effects include mild burning, stinging, or tingling where the medicine is applied. Most side effects are usually mild, and not everyone gets them. If they persist or get worse, consult your doctor for guidance.
Before using it, let your doctor know if you have any skin conditions or allergies to medicines, food, or other substances, or if you have asthma. Though this medicine is generally thought to be safe, you should ask your doctor’s advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Uses of Scabper Soap
Benefits of Scabper Soap
In Treatment of Scabies
Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Scabper Soap is an anti-parasite medicine. It works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs. Generally, the cream should be applied to the whole body except the face and head but follow your doctor’s advice. It should be thoroughly washed off after 8-12 hours. Often one application is enough to treat the condition completely but sometimes a second one may be required a week later. This will get rid of the itching, swelling, and redness caused by mites. However, dead mites may still make you itch for some time.
Side effects of Scabper Soap

How Scabper Soap works
Scabper Soap is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts on the nerve cells of scabies mites, causing paralysis and death of the mites and their eggs. It works by disrupting the normal function of nerve cell membranes in scabies mites. This action helps eliminate the mites responsible for scabies and allows the skin to heal.

FAQs
What is Scabper Soap used for?
Scabper Soap is used for the treatment of scabies, a contagious skin condition caused by mites that burrow into the skin and cause intense itching and rash.
How should Scabper Soap be applied?
Apply Scabper Soap to clean, dry, and cool skin and gently rub it in. For most adults and children over 2 years, it should be applied over the entire body except the head and face. Leave the medicine on for 8–12 hours, after which the whole body should be washed thoroughly.
Is one application enough to cure scabies?
In most people, a single application is enough. If symptoms persist, new lesions appear, or healing does not occur, a second application may be given after at least 7 days, as advised by a doctor.
Why does itching continue even after treatment?
Itching may continue for up to 4 weeks after treatment, even when the scabies mites are dead. This is a common allergic reaction to dead mites under the skin and does not necessarily mean treatment failure.
Are there any special precautions while using Scabper Soap?
Scabper Soap is for external use only and should not be applied to broken skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. Contact with eyes should be avoided, and if accidental contact occurs, the eyes should be rinsed immediately with water.
Can I use other skin treatments at the same time?
Use of topical corticosteroids should generally be withheld before treatment, as they may reduce the body’s response to the mites. Your doctor will advise if any additional treatment is needed.
