Antiscabietic
Definition
Combating, treating, or curing scabies (the itch); a medication, ointment, or chemical substance used to destroy the Sarcoptes scabiei parasite. The term, although considered somewhat obsolete in modern medical vocabulary (where it is often replaced by antiscabios), is historically used in toxicology and traditional pharmacology to describe sulfur or tar-based remedies applied against parasitic dermatoses.
