If you are applying Acticin to treat scabies:

• A thin layer of Acticin should be applied to all parts of the body (from neck to the feet). Infants should also be treated on the neck, hairline, scalp, forehead and temple. You should dry the skin on which you apply the drug. Rub the cream well on the affected areas. The drug should be left from 8 to 14 hours on the body, and then it should be completely washed off. Scabies are normally cured after one Acticin application.

If you are using this medicine to treat head lice:

• First shampoo, then rinse and dry the hair as you regularly do. You should use enough lotion to completely saturate your hair (it is best that you allow it to sit for about 10 minutes); rinse it with water. You do not have to comb the hair in order to remove nits. One treatment is usually enough to cure the infection.

Avoid applying Acticin on open wounds or cuts, because such areas absorb a higher drug amount, which could have dangerous effects. This medicine should be stored away from heat and moisture, at the average room temperature. Keep this drug away from the reach of pets and children.
