GUESS THE RASH?


I am an infection that is caused by a type of mite that burrows underneath the skin. I am extremely itchy. I usually appear on the wrist, folds of the elbow, armpits, beltline, abdomen, genitalia, nipples, buttocks and the groin. I can be transferred by contact with infected skin or contaminated bedding and clothes. What am I?

Answer: SCABIES

TREATMENT: Doctors will usually proscribe medicated creams like Eurax and Acticin. Usually takes up to two weeks for the body to be totally Scabies-free.
