A member asked:
If i have been cured of scabies, is it possible for me to transmit the disease still? are the mites still under my skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scabies: Once treated for scabies you are no longer able to transmit the disease. Often there is residual itching after treatment- that does not mean you still have live mites under your skin.
