Scabies: Doctor Explains Symptoms And Treatment (with Photos) - Itchy Skin Rash
Scabies is a highly contagious skin infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites. This parasitic mite burrows into the top layer of skin, where it lives, feeds, and reproduces. Scabies is usually spread through close personal contact, such as sexual contact, or prolonged skin-to-skin contact. The most common symptoms of scabies include intense itching, especially at night, and a red, bumpy rash. If left untreated, scabies can lead to complications such as skin infections and persistent itching. In this video, Dr Hart-Pinto, a British GP and primary Care Physician will talk about Scabies, the rash, and the best treatments. ................... #scabies #itchyskin #skinrashes #skinrash #patienteducation TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:22 What is Scabies 00:53 Symptoms of Scabies 01:49 Diagnosing Scabies 02:10 Treatment for Scabies 03:51 Recurrence or Failed Treatment 04:25 Legal Disclaimer ......................
