Scabies is a contagious skin infection that is caused by a type of mite.
Mites are insect-like creatures that burrow, or tunnel, under the outer layer of skin. Mites lay eggs under the skin and feed themselves on the blood from their victims.
Mites are about the size of a dot at the end of a sentence and usually cannot be seen. They are grayish in color and nearly transparent.

Yeah pretty much. The bites can be identified by multiple pimple like marks that are usually in groups.
