Scabies Life cycle, Diagnosis & Treatment

Scabies is a skin disease caused by parasitic mite called as Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites are quite tiny and have spines and bristles all over their back with four pairs of legs. Generally, female mites are bigger and they survive by tunneling into and eating the top layers of the skin. They lay their eggs and dump dried fecal pellets behind them as they leave. These eggs hatch in about 4 days after fertilization and develop into adults within 1 week
