Skin Conditions We Treat

Scabies

Scabies is highly contagious skin infestation caused by a microscopic mite, Sarcoptesscabei. The mite burrows under the top layer of skin and causes a very itchy rash that is usually worse at night. It is common all over the world, and can affect anyone. Scabies spreads quickly in crowded conditions where there is frequent skin-to-skin contact between people such as hospitals, child-care centers, and nursing homes. Scabies can easily infect sex partners and other household members. Sharing clothes, towels, and bedding can sometimes spread scabies.

If you have an itchy rash or think you have scabies or have been exposed to scabies, please call our office to schedule a consultation: 360-254-5267.
