Frequently asked questions about Erpiderma Products
Q. What is Erpiderma Lotion used for?
Erpiderma Lotion is used to treat scabies (a skin infestation caused by tiny mites) and head lice. It is used to kill the parasites and their eggs, while also preventing secondary infections.<br>
Q. The itching from scabies is unbearable. How quickly will Erpiderma Lotion provide relief?
While Erpiderma Lotion starts to kill the mites immediately upon application, it is important to understand that the itching may continue for some time, even after all the mites are dead. This is because your body is having an allergic reaction to the dead mites and their waste. The itching should gradually decrease over the next few days to weeks.<br>
Q. Do I need to treat my whole family with Erpiderma Lotion if one person has scabies?
Yes, it is very important that all members of your household, and any close contacts, are treated with Erpiderma Lotion at the same time, even if they do not have any symptoms. Scabies is highly contagious and can spread easily through close physical contact, so treating everyone simultaneously is crucial to prevent re-infestation.<br>
Q. Do I need to repeat the Erpiderma Lotion treatment?
