Since scabies are transmitted among people who are in contact with each other, the whole family, a kindergarten group or a whole class of children, students together, can most often fall ill.
Scabiosis is caused by the female tick, which falls under the skin on the thinnest parts of the skin. It can be fingers and toes, elbows and other bends, or genitals. Further the mite does moves and lays eggs, which causes very strong itching and a lot of unpleasant sensations. If the diseased begins to scratch the skin, he transfers the parasites to other areas, which causes multiple inflammations.
If you start to treat itch sites with allergy remedies, then the disease will only spread even more throughout the body. There are cases when the skin becomes inflamed completely, and it is much more difficult to treat affected areas.
Scabrous strokes become visible only a month after infection. On the skin there are pairs of points in those places where the tick penetrated under the skin and laid eggs. The doctor can determine this disease visually, but still have to conduct a dermatological examination. To do this, take a scraping of skin epithelium at the site of the alleged infection and immediately detect the presence of an itch mite. With scabies at night, you will be disturbed by severe itching, a sleep will break.
Scabies tick is invisible without special equipment, since its size is 0, 3 mm. Life expectancy is only 8 weeks, and at this time the mite can delay up to 50 eggs. The larvae need a week to get out of the eggs, and another week to reach puberty. And after that they will start to multiply and can strike simultaneously huge areas of the skin.
