SCABIES
Scabies is a skin disease caused by
mites which burrow under the skin and
cause severe itching, especially at
night. The mites spread from person to
person and to stop them it is essential
to treat the family and close contacts.
The signs of scabies are quite hard
to recognise and you will probably want
to consult your doctor. The mites often
burrow between the fingers, under the
arms, on the wrists and knees, around
the waist and in the groins.
Treatment is with a special lotion
obtainable from chemists. (You don't
need a prescription from your doctor).
