What Causes Scabies?

1. Animal Contact: Animals may also be parasitized by scabies mites. Contact with such animals may lead to infection with scabies mites and cause the disease.

2. Poor Living Conditions: Living in crowded environments with poor hygiene for a long time and coming into contact with infected individuals increases the risk of developing scabies.

3. Low Immunity: People with low immunity, such as those with infectious diseases, undergoing chemotherapy, the elderly, and children, tend to exhibit more severe symptoms when infected with scabies. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption also increase the risk of developing the disease.

Advice for Patients: After developing scabies, patients should take it seriously and promptly seek medical attention from a professional doctor.

Precautions: To prevent scabies, it is recommended to maintain personal hygiene by bathing and changing clothes frequently and avoiding direct contact or sharing items with individuals who have scabies. Additionally, improve living conditions, maintain indoor hygiene, and avoid living in crowded environments.
