What is scabbies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mites: Scabies is a skin infestation caused by a very tiny insect. No rash, but very itchy. Passed from person to person contact, possible from person to cloth contact. Fortunately, once diagnosed the treatment is inexpensive and effective, a chemical bath. Good luck.
