Synopsis

The mite Sarcoptes scabiei is responsible for the highly contagious skin condition known as scabies. In order to lay its eggs and produce acute itching, this tiny mite digs into the skin's outermost layer. Scabies is primarily transmitted through close physical contact, such as touching the skin of an infected person, and it is more likely in crowded or close living settings, such families, schools, and nursing facilities.
• Itching, especially at night, a rash with small, pimple-like lumps, and the development of tiny, thread-like burrows on the skin are common symptoms of scabies. Wrists, finger joints, elbows, armpits, stomach, and genitalia are the most typical sites of infection.
• Prescription drugs, mainly topical creams or lotions that kill the mites and their eggs, can be used to treat scabies. In order to prevent reinfection, all close contacts of the infected individual should be treated, regardless of whether or not they exhibit symptoms. Seek medical help if you think you have scabies or have had close contact with someone who does, so the condition may be properly diagnosed and treated.
