Scabies is caused by tiny mites that burrow under the skin and cause intense itching. It spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact. Symptoms include itching, rashes between fingers, and sores from scratching. Tests include examining skin scrapings under a microscope for mites. Treatment involves applying prescription creams all over the body and washing clothing to kill the mites. Most cases can be cured without long term issues, but scratching can lead to secondary skin infections.
