How is scabies diagnosed? How is it treated?
What will be an ideal response?
Diagnosis of a scabies infestation is usually based on the customary appearance and distribution of the rash and presence of burrows. Whenever possible, the diagnosis of scabies should be confirmed by identifying the mite, mite eggs, or mite fecal matter. This process is done by carefully removing a mite from the end of its burrow using the tip of a needle or by obtaining a skin scraping in order to examine it underneath a microscope. Even though the mite may not be found, it is still possible for a person to be infested; it is common for fewer than 10 to 15 mites to be present on the entire body of an infested person who is otherwise quite healthy.
Scabies is quite treatable with a scabicide, a product that kills the scabies mites as well as the eggs they produce. Scabicides are available only with a physician's prescription. No over-the-counter products have been tested and approved for humans as yet.
