MedDataToolElimite is a cream used to treat scabies, which is an infestation caused by tiny mites. It works by affecting the nerve cells of the mites, ultimately leading to their paralysis and death. To use it, you should thoroughly massage the cream into your skin from head to toe, and usually, 30 grams is enough for an average adult. After applying, you need to wash it off after 8 to 14 hours, and typically, one application is enough to clear the infestation. If you have a known allergy to any ingredients in the cream, you should not use it.
