Answer 1

scabies are parasites which are easily passed on from person to person by body contact. They spread very quickly under the skin and are highly irritating and make you scratch incessantly. Heat makes the problem worse so you will find yourself waking up from a good night's sleep ripping your skin off.
Treated very easily and effectively by prescribed creams from doctor or chemist. Once had, never want again!

Answer 2

Scabies is a contagious disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 - 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs.

Other more obvious symptoms are an intense itching and a red rash that can occur at the area that has been scratched. The most common locations for scabies are on the sides of fingers, between the fingers, on the backs of the hands, on the wrists, heels, elbows, armpits, inner thighs and around the waist

Scabies is spread by personal contact, by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as clothing, bedding or towels. . Scabies can be spread by the insect itself or by the egg.

Answer 3

Scabies has nothing whatsoever to do with chicken pox. Scabies isn't caused by a virus, it's caused by the itch mite, Sarcoptes scabiei. This person is undoubtedly thinking of herpes zoster (shingles) however h. zoster doesn't appear on the hands. You're not talking about a scabies infection. Perhaps some kind of allergic skin condition, like eczema, but certainly NOT scabies. You and "pearl" are pretty mixed up.
