Answer to Question 1

Scabicides are used to treat scabies, a very pruritic skin condition caused by infestation of the skin with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Eurax is massaged into the skin of the whole body, and a second coat is applied in 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

There is an increased risk in using immunologic agents in any person with a compromised immune status, for example, neonates, older adult patients, and patients on immunosuppressive therapy.
