N,N-Diethyl Benzamide Cream, commonly known as DEET cream, is a topical insect repellent used to protect the skin from bites by mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other insects. It works by interfering with insects’ ability to detect human scent, effectively repelling them rather than killing them. This cream is especially useful in areas with a high risk of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika.
