Scabies
Scabies is a contagious skin infection caused by a type of mite infection and is an infectious sexually transmitted disease.
It is usually parasitic on the external genitalia, including the vulva, hands, feet, torso, and penis.
The area of the skin where mites live is itchy, and scratching causes damage to the skin, and if the area is infected with bacteria, secondary bacterial infections such as swelling and impetigo can occur.
Treat with topical medication such as Quel.
