Scabies is a contagious skin condition induced by the Sarcoptes scabies mite. These microscopic mites burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching, redness, and irritation. Scabies can infect people of all ages and spread quickly within families or communities.
While the condition is uncomfortable and persistent, timely treatment can reduce and prevent further complications. Early identification and professional care are essential to managing symptoms and avoiding recurrent outbreaks.
