Scabies are parasitic mites that cause itching and rashes on the skin. The main symptom of warts is severe itching, which usually becomes more intense at night. Itching usually occurs due to an allergic reaction to the secretions of garium.
Scabies infection can cause rashes, often small blisters, nodules, or red spots. Rashes can appear on various body parts, including the fingers, wrists, elbows, genital area, and other body parts. You can also notice small thin lines or tunnels dug by scabies on the skin. These tunnels are usually short and look like bright lines.
Strokes are often spread within families, partners, and communities with frequent close contact, such as daycare centers, schools, barracks, and shelters. Scabies are more common in some regions or communities, so knowing the environment or source of infection can be helpful in diagnosis.
