The report mentions eczema. The treatments overlap slightly but the habit of prescribing by brand-name means I have three "different" prescriptions for the same treatment. All three variations are in short supply. They can all be described as a "barrier cream". There is no obvious difference in the list of ingredients. But I have three different chains from prescriber to pharmacy to me.
Those two active ingredients used for Scabies are very different. Malathion is an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor, and when I was farming that was in one of the more dangerous classes of pesticides. There are also reports of emerging resistance.
The other choice, permethrin, is a pyrethroid. I am not speaking as an expert, but I am uncomfortable with the thought of shortages when resistance may be an issue. Using an ACE every year was not a good idea, though that was partly because of such aspects as the risk to bees.
