Scabies

Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by mites burrowing into the skin, leading to intense itching and a rash. It spreads through close contact or shared items but is easily treatable with proper care and hygiene. Treating all contacts and cleaning bedding and clothes thoroughly helps stop the infection from returning and ensures full recovery.
