Scabies is an itchy rash caused by mites. It’s spread through close skin contact, and anyone can get it. It should be treated quickly to stop it spreading.
The symptoms of scabies are:
1) intense itching, especially at night
2) a raised rash or spots
The spots may look red. They are more difficult to see on brown or black skin, but you should be able to feel them.
