Scabies is a very common skin infestation caused by a tiny mite. It is also called the seven-year itch and is caused by the female mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Scabies is very contagious and is mostly transmitted by direct contact with the infected person. The itch mite is mostly passed from skin-to-skin contact. The main symptoms of scabies are severe itching accompanied by superficial burrows and skin rashes. Homeopathic medicines for scabies stimulate the disease-fighting mechanism of the body to fight scabies.
Once a person is exposed to scabies, it usually takes four to six weeks for the symptoms to start showing. In cases where scabies have occurred earlier, it takes one to four days for the symptoms to appear, after exposure. The most common symptom is severe itching, especially during the night. The superficial burrows and skin rashes appear mostly on the feet, wrist, fingers (especially web of fingers), elbow, back, and hips. The severe itchiness compels the person to scratch constantly which may lead to the breakdown of the skin, leaving it open to further infection.
