Permite is a clinically trusted permethrin cream formulated as permethrin 5 cream, recommended by healthcare professionals for treating scabies and certain mite infestations. This topical cream works by paralyzing and eliminating mites and their eggs, providing effective relief from symptoms. It is applied as a thin layer to clean, dry skin, left on for 8–12 hours, then washed off. Most cases resolve with a single application; a second dose may be advised after 7–14 days if necessary. Mild side effects like redness, itching, or burning are common but typically transient.
