I have scabies Dr. prescribed permethrin is the ingredient in the one time cream. Is this safe?

It's safe unless if you accidentally eat / lick the cream. It's hepatotoxic %26amp; carcinogenic. So remember not to touch your eye or your mouth once you use it.





I copy paste this for you :


Permethrin is extremely toxic to fish. Extreme care must be taken when using products containing permethrin near water sources. Permethrin is also highly toxic to cats. Flea and tick repellent formulas intended (and labeled) for dogs may contain permethin and cause feline permethrin toxicosis in cats: specific flea and tick control formulas intended for feline use, such as those containing fipronil, should therefore be used for cats instead.





Currently, permethrin is not considered a carcinogen by any recognized authoritative body, but a few studies have lead the US EPA to classify the substance as a Category C carcinogen: Possible human carcinogen (the data show limited evidence of carcinogenicity in the absence of human data) Carcinogenic action in nasal mucosal cells for inhalation exposure is suspected due to observed genotoxicity in human tissue samples, and in rat livers the evidence of increased preneoplastic lesions lends concern over oral exposure.However, these results are seen as preliminary and marginal, at best.

Generally, yes, unless you are an insect or a fish. It is the active ingredient in many of the insecticides that say they keep killing for months and that may be used indoors.
