Greetings. That is a very good question and highly appreciated.

However, the following description regarding the query is a general description to your current condition. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to converse with our doctors for further explanation.

Scabies is a skin infestation caused by a mite known as the Sarcoptes scabiei . Untreated, these microscopic mites can live on your skin for months. They reproduce on the surface of your skin and then burrow into it and lay eggs. This causes an itchy, red rash to form on the skin.

Common sites for scabies in older children and adults include the:

• wrist
• elbow
• armpit
• nipple
• penis
• waist
• buttocks
• area between the fingers

After the initial exposure to scabies, it can take up to six weeks for symptoms to appear. The symptoms usually develop more quickly in people who’ve had scabies before.

The hallmark symptoms of scabies include a rash and intense itching that gets worse at night. Continuous scratching of the infected area can create sores that become infected. If this occurs, additional treatment with antibiotics for the skin infection may be recommended.
