Scabies is a very itchy rash caused by a tiny, eight-legged mite called Sarcoptes scabiei, which burrows into the skin. Scabies is usually spread by close, prolonged skin-to-skin contact (such as holding hands), and is common in school-age children and can also occur in infants. If left untreated, scabies can spread to all members of the family through bedding, couches, and towels. The mites and their eggs can live on clothing or bedding for one to two days. In this article, we will provide useful information for parents about scabies in infants.
