Nix is actually sold as a treatment for lice but it can also be used for treating scabies.
Scabies are mites that burrow under your skin. They are most often found in your armpits, around your waist or breasts, between your fingers or toes, around your buttocks, around your ankles, the soles of your feet or on your genitals. They cause intense itching that can be worse at night.
Using Nix to treat scabies:
1 - Apply a thin coat of Nix Cream Rinse over your entire body from the neck down, and rub it in well. Leave it on your skin for at least 8 hours but no more than 14 hours. (Infants over 2 months of age should be treated on the scalp, temple and forehead also. Talk to a doctor about treating infants younger than 2 months of age.)
2 - Wash yourself thoroughly to remove all of the Nix. One treatment is usually sufficient to get rid of scabies.
Other scabicides you can purchase over the counter (OTC) include Acticin and Elimite.
