In this small prospective cohort study, there were 22 neonates and infants with persistent palmoplantar scabies. Patients were treated exclusively with permethrin 5% cream. All patients initially failed the standard regimen consisting of one full-body application, followed by a second \u00adapplication after 7\u2005days. In 1 group, 11 infants received an intensified regimen with 3 additional nights of targeted application to the hands and feet (intervention group), while in a second group, 11 continued with the standard regimen only (control group). Complete resolution was observed in all 11 patients in the intervention group, compared with none in the control group. Frequent infant behaviours, including spontaneous kicking, leg movements and habitual fist clenching, probably reduced drug contact time on the palms and soles. These findings indicate that standard topical regimens may be insufficient in this population and that targeted reapplication, combined with caregiver education, can optimize treatment outcomes in infants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ced\/llaf456","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,11]],"date-time":"2025-10-11T11:58:20Z","timestamp":1760183900000},"page":"278-281","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Beyond
