HOE A-Scabs Lotion

• Use only the amount needed to cover the directed area of skin in a single, even layer — do not apply more than once within the same treatment session unless a doctor or pharmacist has specifically advised it.
• A single application is typically left on the skin for around 8 to 14 hours before washing off, based on published Malaysian hospital drug reference information for this exact product.
• Do not re-apply sooner than the interval advised by a healthcare professional, and do not exceed the number of applications stated on the product label.
• This product’s application pattern and duration should be confirmed with a pharmacist or doctor before use, particularly for children, the elderly, or anyone with extensive skin involvement.

An independently verified shelf-life duration for this specific product could not be confirmed, so always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton before use.

Do not use a bottle that has been previously opened and stored for an extended period without checking the expiry date, and discard the lotion if it has changed colour, separated abnormally, or developed an unusual smell.

• Not for use by anyone with a known hypersensitivity to permethrin, other pyrethroid or pyrethrin compounds, or chrysanthemums.
• Not recommended for infants under 2 months of age except under direct medical supervision.
• Not for use on broken, infected, or extensively weeping skin unless a doctor has specifically advised it.
• Not for use in or near the eyes, mouth, nose, or other mucous membranes.
• Use only under medical guidance in pregnant or breastfeeding women, and in the elderly or people with widespread skin conditions, given the extent of whole-body application typically involved.

• Avoid applying other topical medicated lotions, creams, or insecticidal products to the skin at the same time as this product unless a doctor or pharmacist has specifically advised it.
• Systemic absorption of permethrin through intact skin is minimal when used as directed, so clinically significant interactions with oral medicines are not typically expected, but tell your pharmacist about any other treatments you are using.
• No clinically significant food interactions are known for this topical product.

• Confirm the exact area to be covered and the leave-on time with a pharmacist or doctor before your first application, as this differs from an everyday skin lotion.
• Have clean clothing, towels, and bedding ready in advance so they can be changed promptly after the leave-on period.
• Keep fingernails trimmed short before application, and make sure the lotion reaches under the nails as directed.
• Avoid bathing or showering immediately before application, as the directed timing (clean, cool, dry skin) matters for correct use.
• Store this bottle separately and clearly labelled from any other skin lotions in the household to avoid mix-ups.
• Keep this product well out of reach of children given its specific, professionally-directed use pattern.

HOE A-Scabs Lotion is a permethrin-based pyrethroid topical preparation intended for a specific, time-limited application pattern under pharmacist or doctor guidance, rather than for everyday or open-ended skin care use.

Important note on product identity: This product’s brand name, “A-Scabs”, can be misread as referring to healing skin scabs or wounds. Independent verification — the manufacturer’s own product listing, a Malaysian public hospital drug formulary, and regional medicine registries — consistently identifies this as a Permethrin 5% w/v lotion, a pyrethroid-class topical preparation, and not a general wound-care or scar-healing product. Anyone who obtained this product expecting a wound-healing lotion should check with a pharmacist before use.

Precautions: Use strictly according to the area, amount, and timing directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nose, and other mucous membranes. Do not use on broken or infected skin without medical advice. Close household or personal contacts may need separate assessment and guidance from a healthcare professional. Keep this product clearly separated from other household skin lotions to avoid accidental misuse.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek advice before first use to confirm the correct application area and timing; if skin irritation is severe or does not settle after washing off the lotion; if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, treating an infant, or have a widespread skin condition; or if symptoms have not resolved after completing the directed course.
