SCABIES
MITE INFESTATION UNDER SKIN
Itching from scabies is usually worst at night. On the skin, little red bumps develop in the skin folds, between the fingers, around the beltline, and in the genital region. It may present itself as a pimple-like rash with intense itching.
In most cases, scabies is contracted from close contact. Diagnosis can be made clinically or with a skin scraping. Most commonly, Permethrin Cream and/or Ivermectin tablets are prescribed. Treatment of everyone in the household is required to get rid of the infestation.
