It is called scabies or scabies to a disease of the skin caused by a mite (Sarcoptes scabei) that can be easily spread. It affects all kinds of people regardless of sex or race.

The mite is transmitted by direct contact with an infected person.

The frequent thing is that small epidemics arise within the same family. The mite is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, either in daily cohabitation or in sexual contact; you can live up to three days off the skin.

It gives many annoying symptoms, especially because itching is the first symptom; primary lesions: are the alterations caused by the parasite itself.

It is recommended:

  • Avoid contact with people infected with mange.
  • Wash clothes and sheets with hot water.
  • Be careful not to share clothes, sheets and towels in camps, residences, etc.
  • If there is an infected person in a house, cleaning measures should be increased: vacuum carpets and carpets, ventilate the rooms, shake sheets outdoors, etc.
  • Prevent secondary infections of the skin by scratching. For this, it is recommended to wash your hands often, have your nails clean and cut, and use rags soaked in cold water to relieve itching.
