Conditions treated with antiparasitic agents
Antiparasitic agents are prescribed to treat a variety of skin-related conditions, including:

Lice. Head lice (pediculus capitis) are bloodsucking, wingless insects approximately the size of a sesame seed. They are the most common form of lice infestation in the United States, and they are shaped like a small capsule that resembles dandruff. Head lice are spread through personal contact and by shared combs, brushes, hats and other personal items. Pubic lice (Pthirus pubis) are usually transmitted by intimate or sexual contact. Pubic lice bear a resemblance to the common crab, with infestations sometimes referred to as a case of “crabs.” They are most often located around the genitals, but may spread to other areas (e.g., abdomen, armpits). Lice treatments are typically repeated after 7 to 10 days to kill lice that hatch after the initial treatment.

Scabies. An infectious skin disease that results from a mite infestation. Scabies occurs throughout the world and is spread by personal contact and shared use of clothing and bedding. The mites burrow into the skin and cause an itchy rash. They then deposit eggs under the skin, which appear as a burrow that resembles a pencil mark. Eggs mature in 21 days. Scabies can occur with small blisters, and is commonly found on the genitals.

“Creeping eruption.” An often serpiginous (winding) skin rash that results when a person becomes infected with dog or cat hookworm (larva migrans) through contact with the animals’ feces, and the larvae begin to “creep” beneath the skin. Symptoms usually appear on the feet, buttocks or back. Creeping eruption tends to occur in warm climates when people are exposed to the larvae found in sands and soils. In the United States, it is most common in the Southeastern states.
Most antiparasitic agents can be used by patients regardless of other medical conditions the patient may have. However, patients likely will be urged not to use these medications if they have a prior history of reaction to the drugs or if their skin is raw or inflamed.
Thiabendazole (used to treat “creeping eruption”) should not be used in patients with kidney or liver disorders, severe malnutrition or anemia. Lindane (used to treat scabies) should not be used in premature infants, pregnant women, patients with a history of seizures or patients with Norwegian scabies, a condition in which patients are infected with hundreds or thousands of scabies that cause severe skin manifestations. In addition, people with severely inflamed skin should not apply benzyl benzoate or crotamiton to the skin to treat scabies.
Individuals with asthma should avoid taking ivermectin to treat scabies and head lice because the drug can worsen asthma. In addition, permethrin should not be applied to an inflamed scalp for the treatment of scabies or lice.
