i hate to say this but my son had scabies last month...pain in the butt to get rid of...signs are.....itchy skin every where..even the scalp..they look almost like bug bites after awhile...what they are, are tiny little bugs like lice and they live under the skin and have eggs they lay...these eggs will also hatch and feed on the flesh...you need to make sure your child or adult...needs to go to the dr and let them diagnose
the problem first...they will tell you to get the cream called permethrin...this goes on your body from scalp to toe...leave on for 24 hours and then shower..making sure to reapply to hands after washing them...you will continue to itch for up to 2 weeks....slowly symptoms will fade away...make sure you wash all the bedding, couch, chair where ever the person was that has this...take all stuffed animals and place in a trash bag for 7 days to kill the scabies...go to your local wal-mart and buy the spray you use to kill lice on your furniture and spray that as well on the bed, couch ect.... good luck and i hope you don' have this problem....you could also call your dr and ask for more signs for this if they have them..

After the mite burrows into the skin, it takes time to develop signs and symptoms. If a person has had scabies before, the itching usually begins within 1 to 4 days. When a person has not had scabies, the body needs time to develop a reaction to the mite. It can take 2 to 6 weeks to develop symptoms

You already have the right answers, so I will just say that my dogs got the sarcoptic mange and then I got the scabies after a visit to the vet's office. The dog's mange was mush easier to treat than my scabies. That was a royal pain!

reddish rash on skin with little bubs in it. Itching like crazy. Everyone in the house that has come into contact with the animal will be itching too. Your dog will need to go to the vet for a couple injections. Your family will need to go to the doctor to get some cream. Make sure & get to these places soon.

Dude you have symtoms the second you get infected. Try not to touch anything, they're horribly contagious.
