The Sarcoptes mite is the cause of scabies, a highly contagious skin infection. Scabies is spread through sexual or asexual skin contact. It can also be transmitted as fomites. Globally, it affects all age groups, races, and genders. It is well known that the Sarcoptes mite enters the skin and burrows to lay eggs. The immune system of the body becomes severely weakened. If left untreated, the symptoms of scabies can become severe. Scabies is a serious condition that should be treated as soon as possible.
How is Scabies Spread
Scabies can be spread through personal contact, especially when:
- Shaking hands with a person infected
- Share clothes, towels, and bedding
- Find it where there are many people crowded together, such as in a school, with family members, or roommates.
- Stand too close to an infected person
Scabies Symptoms
After exposure, symptoms can take up to six weeks to appear. Symptoms can appear within a few days for people who are previously infected.
The following symptoms are common in a person with scabies:
- Itching that is worse at night
- Sores can be caused by scratching.
- You may notice small bumps that resemble hives/urticaria.
- Constant itching can cause a crust to form on the skin
A person infected with scabies can spread the disease to another even before symptoms appear. A hypersensitive reaction can cause itching. Red papules on the skin are common in inter-digital spaces, axillae, and breasts of females. They can also be seen in the male genital area, wrists, and genital regions.
Tips for Scabies
- Keep personal hygiene up to date by bathing daily.
- While bathing, scrub vigorously with soap and warm water.
- Replace the bed linen and clothes of an infected individual daily.
- The sun is a great way to dry your clothes and linens.
- After bathing, dry the skin completely.
- It is important to maintain close contact.
Treatment of Scabies
Permethrin, Benzene, and other toxic chemicals are used in the conventional treatment of scabies to kill mites. It is important to understand that these treatments only kill the mites on your skin’s surface. These chemicals are not as effective in eliminating the eggs or reaching the nits that have burrowed into your skin. You will need to repeat the treatment several times until all eggs hatch. It is still not a cure, as even if one mite escapes treatment it can relapse. These toxic chemicals can cause cancer and have many side effects. These can’t be given for longer periods.

Homeopathy can be used to treat Scabies
Homeopathy is a complementary health science that can provide the best management of Scabies, as it focuses on treating its root cause. Homeopathic science is not limited to treating the external causes of disease. Homeopathy treats the whole person, including the body, mind, and spirit. According to homeopathy, our bodies are capable of keeping themselves disease-free naturally. When the immune system becomes deranged, the body cannot protect itself from disease. Homeopathy can help restore health to the sick by improving the function of the organ and balancing vitality. Once vitality and balance are restored, the body will naturally heal itself without side effects. Homeopathic supplements should be taken in tiny doses.
We will explore revolutionary homeopathic studies:
Homeopathically, sulfur has been used for centuries to treat itchy skin conditions due to its germicidal properties. In a clinical study, 95% of scabies sufferers who participated in the study to determine the effectiveness of precipitated petrolatum sulfur reported an improvement in skin function. It was noted that sulfur is safe for all ages, including children under 5 years old, pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as elderly adults.
