MANGE, SCABIES
Scabies is a pretty frequent dermatosis, which is produced by a parasite. It is transmitted directly, through skin contact from the infected person to the healthy one, through underwear, clothes, sleeping in the same bed or through contact with sick animals.
It is manifested through an itching sensation (especially during the night); small blisters appear on the skin. It is localized in the axillary, mamelon area, between the toes, genital organs and interior part of the hip. Crusts and piodermitis are due to scratching.
