Sulphur

Sulphur is an antiseptic and has a long history of use as a scabicide. Although Sulphur is non-irritating, but it has unpleasant odor, produces staining and is thus disagreeable to use. It has been replaced by more esthetic and effective scabicides in the recent years. But it remains a possible alternative drug for use in infants and pregnant womens.
