Scabies, a skin infestation caused by the microscopic Sarcoptes scabiei mite, can be an uncomfortable and distressing condition. Scabies is primarily caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, a tiny arachnid that burrows into the outer layer of the skin. The infestation occurs through direct, prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Contrary to common belief, scabies is not solely associated with poor hygiene, as it can affect individuals of any socio-economic background. The hallmark symptom of scabies is relentless itching, often worsening at night. The itching is the body's allergic reaction to the mites, their eggs and their waste. Small, raised red bumps or pimple-like rashes may appear on the skin, especially in areas with thinner skin, such as between the fingers, wrists, elbows and genital region.
