Crotorax Lotion belongs to a class of medicines called scabicides and antipruritics used to treat scabies and itchy skin. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites. It is contagious and spread from one person to another with physical contact. Patients with scabies experience rashes and persistent itching in the infected area, which worsens at night. 

Crotorax Lotion contains Crotamiton, which works by killing the mites which cause scabies. Irritation from the mites leads to severe itching and small bumps/blister filled with fluid/pus. It also helps relieve itching related to scabies and other skin conditions. Crotorax Lotion evaporates from the skin and produces a cooling effect. This cooling effect helps to divert the body's attention away from the itching.

Crotorax Lotion is available in the topical (for skin) forms of cream and lotion. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Crotorax Lotion has common side effects like skin irritation, redness and a burning sensation at the application site.
