Scabies is an itchy skin condition that is caused by a mite infestation. The mites bury your skin’s outer layers and lay eggs to increase their number. They can be present in any part of the skin, although they are more commonly observed on the skin between fingers, wrists, and waist. It is not an infection of the skin, rather an infestation that triggers an allergic response by your immune system. It is a contagious disease that can spread from one person to another by direct skin contact and sharing bedding or clothes.
