I was recently prescribed Permethrin 5% Cream to treat scabies. The itching was unbearable, so I was relieved to finally get a treatment. However, after applying the cream, I started experiencing some concerning symptoms. I've heard that some people get severe side effects, but I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is normal. Has anyone else had a similar experience? What should I do if I think I'm having a severe reaction?
