One of the most common parasitic infections treated with ivermectin cream is scabies, which is caused by the Sarcoptic scabies mite. When applied to the affected areas of the skin, ivermectin cream penetrates the skin to reach the mites, effectively killing them and helping to alleviate the symptoms of scabies, including itching, rash, and skin irritation.
In addition to scabies, ivermectin cream may also be used to treat other parasitic skin infections caused by mites, lice, or ticks. Its effectiveness may vary depending on the specific parasite involved and other factors such as the severity of the infection and individual response to treatment.
