How can you rid your hair of scabies with Ivermectin lotion?

Answers

Apply the medicine directly to the scalp and dry hair closest to the scalp and then apply outwards to the ends of your hair. Completely cover your scalp and hair (up to 1 tube). Leave the medicine on the hair and scalp for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, rinse your hair with warm water and dry with a clean towel.
Comb hair with a fine-toothed comb to remove any nits (eggs) or nit shells. They look like small white dots.
If live lice are seen 7 days after using this medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Do not use this medicine again without talking first with your doctor.
Children will need an adult to apply the medicine for them.
If you are breastfeeding, do not put the lotion on your breast.
Throw away any unused medicine left in the tube after each use.
It is best to wait for 24 hours before applying shampoo on the treated hair and scalp areas. Do not use cosmetics and other hair products on these areas as well.
