Scabies

Scabies

Scabies is a skin infection, due to Sarcoptis scabiei, a mite, where the patient experiences intense itching, and small tiny bumps in their skin. The mite spreads from infected garments, linens and contact with infected person. Once inside the body, the mite makes tiny burrows in the skin, and comes out at night. Due to this, the infected person experiences extreme itching at night. Eventually, the itching is seen during daytime also, and slowly they develop tiny rashes and bumps on skin.
