For the past 2-3 days i have been suffering from acute itching in navel area and on the thighs.The place where itching is there, i can find small red rashes.I have a gut feeling that it is scabies since my father is also having the same problem but for the last i month I am in hostel and not in contact with him.The allopath doctors have adviced me for permethrin topical 5% cream.
What should I do? i am afraid of side affects of using this cream.
