Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by the sarcoptes scabiei mite. The mites burrow under the skin and cause a characteristic itchy rash, most commonly between the fingers, wrists, breasts, genitals, buttocks, and ankles. Treatment involves applying prescribed lotions or creams to kill the mites and provide relief from itching.
