Elimite cream should be applied to clean, dry skin over the entire body surface from the neck down, including between the fingers and toes, under the nails, and in all skin folds. Leave it on for 8 to 14 hours, then rinse off thoroughly in the shower or bath. One application is sufficient for most people, though a physician may recommend a second treatment after 7 to 14 days if symptoms persist.

This does not necessarily mean the treatment failed. If itching remains severe, a physician may recommend an antihistamine or a short course of a topical steroid for symptomatic relief.

On the day of treatment, wash all clothing, bedding, and towels used in the past 3 days in hot water and dry them on high heat. Items that cannot be washed can be sealed in a plastic bag for at least 72 hours, as mites cannot survive off a human host for more than 2 to 3 days. Avoid close physical contact with others until treatment is complete.
