Hello and welcome to e health forum.
Scabies is caused by the parasite Sarcoptes scabiei, which only infects humans. Once the scabies âmites are âon your skin, they will burrow under the skin and lay eggs, which will hatch into adult âmites in âabout ten days. An intensely itchy rash develops a few weeks later, as your body âdevelops an âallergic reaction to the mites and eggs. The rash consists of small red bumps or âblisters and âcommonly are found between your child's fingers, on the inside of the wrists, in âarmpits and âgroin area. You may also see small lines around the bumps, which are the burrows âthat the mites âcreate as they travel under the skin.â Treatment will need proper anti parasitic âmedications which can be prescribed by your doctor.
It is difficult to analyse a skin condition without a complete medical history and a visual âââexamination of the lesion. â
The other possible causes that can appear like scabies include Allergy reactions or due to contact dermatitis. â
The best way ahead to get a proper diagnosis would be to consult a doctor or a dermatologist for ââa physical examination, and specific treatment.â
