Oral ivermectin and topical ivermectin cream are two different forms of an antiparasitic medication used to treat a variety of conditions. When taken as oral tablets or capsules, ivermectin works internally to kill specific parasites living within the intestines or skin. When used as a topical cream, it is applied directly to the skin to target specific surface-level issues, functioning both to clear skin parasites and to reduce inflammation and redness caused by certain chronic skin conditions.
