Scabies is a skin condition caused by microscopic insects that burrow under the top layer of skin!. There are 2 main types of mites that cause scabies!. Scabies is spread through close contact with an infected person or infected clothing/bedsheets!. Symptoms include intense itching, red zigzag rash, and pimple-like skin lesions!.

Treatment includes use of medical skin ointments or pills!. Also, you need to clean all your bed sheets, blankets, bed clothes in HOT water (>130 F)!. Items that cannot be washed should be dry cleaned, or stored in a bag for at least 2 weeks to ensure the mites are dead!. Also, you should vacuum the rugs, then dispose of the vacuum bag!. Lastly, avoid close contact (including sexual) until the treatment is completed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are mites, so they are very small!. It's extremely contagious, so don't share clothes/towels/hugs/etc!.!. and if you do, tell them to get treated ASAP, this prevents the spread, and prevents them having to deal with the symptoms!.
