Scabies Infection

Scabies is a mite that burrows in the skin — fierce night itch, especially in finger webs, wrists and folds.

One person treated in a family of five is why it ‘never goes’. Everyone itchy (and often everyone in the bedroom) is treated on the same night.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Night itch

Classic

Itch that wakes the house, worse after a hot bath.

Burrows

Look

Thin grey lines in finger webs, wrists, belt line and, in babies, palms.

Family

Spread

Sharing a bed or a towel is enough.

Itch after

Normal

Itch can last a week after the mites are dead. That is not always failure.

Evaluation

What we look for

Who sleeps where

Map

We write a same-night plan for the household.

Medicine

Apply

Neck-down (and scalp in babies) — not a dab on one wrist.

Wash

Heat

Clothes and sheets from the last three days washed hot or bagged as advised.

Second coat

Date

A repeat application is often needed. We give the exact day.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Skin mapping

We examine the rash, hair, nails or scars in good light and note triggers, duration and earlier treatment.

02

Clear diagnosis

Where needed we advise tests, biopsy or dermoscopy so treatment is specific, not trial-and-error.

03

A plan you can follow

Creams, procedures or laser are explained in simple steps, with a review date at Grace Clinic.

When to book

Come in if a baby is blistered, the itch is infected from scratching, or the family has treated twice and still itches.
