Nair is for hair removal. It can also be used for mite removal. It is probably the best method for removing mites from in the skin. Apply nair as directed. In a thick layer. The nair will remove skin. It will also kill any mites on the surface of the skin and drive mites out of burrows. Leave on for the directed amount of time. Five to ten minutes is enough to remove hair and force the mites out. The mites may attempt to escape from the nair by burrowing deeper into the skin. This may hurt. A lot. Once they are dead the skin will heal.
