What You Ought To Learn About Scabies Symptoms

By Quentin I. Xavier


There are many variables in regard to the type of scabies symptoms that you could show all of which depend upon your health and the type of mites that you have contracted. These little insects are so small that a microscopic lens is necessary to observe their physical presence. This history of these insects goes back thousands of years and even primitive doctors long ago were aware of them. Those that have ever had scabies know how much you can itch. In the upper epidermal layer of the skin, the mites crawl in and begin to live and breed. Almost anyone can get scabies. It doesn't matter how well you take care of yourself, or how rich you are, you can still get scabies very easily.

The type of scabies that you have may vary from strain to strain, showing different symptoms for each one. Areas of infestation often include skin that appears to have a rash or severe irritation. A combination of pimples and tracks on your skin may be a sign that scabies have definitely infiltrated your upper epidermal layer. Mites will often leave tracks in your skin if they are on the move. Scabies mites will burrow under the outer layer of skin. Then they will move around, or tunnel under the outer skin surface. When that happens, you can see the very small curved tracks. Other symptoms include a very small blister that has formed.

There are many different places on your body where you can have the symptoms of scabies. For example, scabies can develop on the underside of the wrists, on the same side as the palm of the hand. Another place is in the webbing between your fingers. Other warm, moist places that the scabies like to infest are the armpits, buttocks, and inner thighs. Around your waist and in your belly button, as well as the buttocks, are places you may experience intense itching from the mites. Some areas where the rash and itching appear are specific to a particular gender.

Two different scenarios exist when someone is infested with scabies. We've already given you the data earlier in this report about the time-line of symptoms for a first-time victim of this disease. A repeat infestation will cause the intense itching, which is the allergic reaction, very quickly after the mite burrows into the skin. The reason for this is your body has learned to recognize the mite and is already sensitized to it. Don't try to treat a scabies infestation yourself. Seek the assistance of your medical practitioner. This is mandatory. There are occasions when you have an allergic reaction to the mites and your immune system will kill off both the eggs and the mites. However, this isn't normally the case. More often than not, you will have to seek medical attention.

This is not to say that it cannot be spread if a person has sheets that are infested that they sleep in, or have personal items with the mites on them. Scabies can also travel on objects, and because they can live for 36 hours away from a human host, they can travel in this manner as well.

It appears there are a growing number of medical issues confronting people today. That's why it's more valuable than ever to have good medical insurance. To find out more, make sure you speak to your medical insurance agent as quickly as possible.
