Understanding Scabies
Microscopic mites burrowing in the skin cause scabies, an intensely itchy condition passed on by prolonged close contact.
How Scabies Feels
- A rash of small spots
- Thin grey burrow lines between fingers or on wrists
- Itching in several household members
- Sores from scratching
What Can Cause Scabies
Mites pass from person to person by close contact and sometimes via bedding or clothes, a risk in crowded places to stay.
Care and Treatment for Scabies
After reviewing your photos and symptoms the doctor can prescribe a scabies treatment and tell you how to treat close contacts and your living space. Itching can continue for weeks after the mites are gone. Typical choices are permethrin cream or ivermectin tablets, plus treating contacts and washing bedding.
- Do not scratch, to avoid infection
- Treat everyone in the household at the same time
- Wash bedding, towels and clothing at a high temperature
- Avoid close contact until treated
