Yes, ivermectin cream for humans is effective in treating scabies, a skin condition caused by the infestation of the Sarcoptes scabies mite. Scabies are characterized by intense itching, red rashes, and burrows on the skin, often leading to secondary infections due to scratching.
Ivermectin interferes with the nervous system of the scabies mite, causing paralysis and eventual death. This action disrupts the mites' life cycle and helps eliminate them from the skin.
