Patients 11-17 years of age will read and sign an Independent Review Board (IRB)-approved assent form and patients 6-10 years of age will provide verbal assent. Patients 2-5 years of age will be exempt from providing assent based on the child's comprehension and cognitive skills. 4.

Parasitological confirmation of clinical diagnosis with demonstration under light microscope of mites and/or their products (larvae, eggs or fecal material). 6. Symptom score of 2 or 3 on a 4-point rating scale of 0-3 for nocturnal itching/pruritus. 7. Ability to apply or have study product applied as directed. If patient is a child, then parent/guardian will apply study product to him/her. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant during the study. 2.
