Summary

[edit]
Description

This causes a pruritic, red skin rash. Scabies occurs worldwide and affects people of all races and social classes. Scabies is contagious; the mite is usually spread by direct, close, prolonged skin-to-skin contact with a person who has scabies. It can spread rapidly under crowded conditions where close body contact is frequent. This image shows the mite on the skin surface.
