Scabies rash on the skin of a 58 year old male patient. Scabies is a skin infection caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It burrows under the skin and lays eggs, leading to severe itching, rashes, or spots. The spots may appear red and may be more difficult to see on darker skin. Scabies often affects areas between the fingers, around the wrists, under the arms, around the waist, and bottom. This infection spreads through close skin contact and requires prompt treatment. Treatment typically involves using creams and lotions available at a pharmacy.
