How to use Lyclear Lyclear Dermal Cream is used to treat scabies and crab lice. Permethrin belongs to a group of medicines called the pyrethroids which are anti-parasitic agents. Do not use Lyclear Dermal Cream if: You have ever had an allergic reaction to Lyclear Dermal Cream, Permethrin, other pyrethroids or pyrethrins, or any of the ingredients listed above. Take special care with Lyclear Dermal Cream if: You are currently using a type of medicine called corticosteroid. If you are using this cream to treat several others, you may wish to wear gloves. Pregnancy and breast-feeding Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using Lyclear Dermal Cream in pregnancy or whilst breast-feeding. Lyclear Dermal Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. In the event of eye contamination, rinse with water immediately. Ensure the skin is clean, dry and cool. Do not take a hot bath immediately before treatment. The cream rubs easily into the skin. You do not need to keep applying more cream until it can be seen on the surface of the skin. If the contents of the tube are swallowed by a child, talk to your doctor immediately. If too much cream is applied, it should be washed off with soap and warm water. If there are any signs of irritation, talk to your doctor. Treating scabies with Lyclear Adults and children over 2 years old: apply the cream to the skin over the whole body. Include the palms and soles but not the head or face. Ensure that you cover the areas between the fingers and toes, under the nails, and on the wrists, arm-pits, the skin of the genitals and in the skin between the buttocks. Children under 2 years old: Treat only under medical supervision. Treat as above but also treat the neck, face, ears and scalp. Avoid the area around the mouth and around the eyes. Leave cream on for between 8 and 12 hours, then wash off with soap and water. If you wash your hands within 8 hours, reapply to the hands. Approximate dosage: Adults: between 1 and 2 tubes depending on size. Children between 6 and 12: up to half a tube. Children between 1 and 5 years: up to a quarter of a tube. Babies: up to an eighth of a tube. Treating pubic lice (crabs) with Lyclear Only for use by adults (age 18 and over). Apply sufficient cream to cover the pubic region, pubic hair, around the anus, the genitals, the inner thighs down to the knees and the lower chest hair. Check facial hair for live lice or eggs. Apply cream to beard/moustache as if any are found. Eyelashes should be checked, but cream should not be applied to the eyelashes; instead, lice or eggs should be removed with tweezers. Leave cream on for around 24 hours, then wash thoroughly. Approximate dosage: around one tube. One-third of the tube should cover the pubic region, and the rest of the tube should cover the thighs/chest as appropriate. Notes on Lyclear Lyclear may cause minor irritation for a short while. The itching associated with scabies can continue for up to 4 weeks even after a successful application of Lyclear, as the dead mites and eggs are still attached to the skin. There is no need to reapply Lyclear within this period. About the rest of the Lyclear range This treatment - Lyclear Dermal Cream - is for pubic lice or scabies.
