Scabies is a highly contagious skin infestation caused by a tiny mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites burrow into the skin to live and lay eggs, leading to intense itching, especially at night, and a pimple-like skin rash. Scabies can spread quickly through close physical contact or by sharing clothing, bedding, and towels with an infected person. Treatment typically involves prescription creams or lotions to apply over the entire body to kill the scabies mites and their eggs.
