Scabies is a common skin infestation caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin and lay eggs. It can cause intense itching and a rash that looks like small red bumps or blisters, and it can be spread through close physical contact with an infected person or their belongings. Fortunately, scabies is easily treated with prescription medications that kill the mites and their eggs, and good hygiene practices can help prevent its spread. If you think you may have scabies, it’s important to see a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
