Is scabies contagious?

In daily life, scabies is a relatively common skin disease. Scabies is highly contagious. If someone in the family has scabies, be sure to isolate them, especially children. People with scabies should not contact children. Children's resistance is very weak and they are easily infected. Scabies not only causes great psychological pressure on patients, but also affects everyone's life and work.

Scabies is a highly contagious

Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease, and many patients do not understand how contagious it is. To give a simple example, "if you touch items that have been touched by a scabies patient and your own immunity is relatively low, you may be infected with scabies." This is the most contagious skin disease and is listed as an infectious disease by the World Health Organization. Countries around the world attach great importance to this disease. The infection was even more serious in the early days of liberation. At that time, scabies was classified as a seasonal disease (more prevalent in certain seasons).

It has been found in China that many scabies patients have a very superficial understanding of the disease, and even do not take it seriously. After getting the disease, they do not seek treatment or do not care much about it, which often leads to the whole family being infected with scabies.

At present, we are eager to learn scientific knowledge about scabies, understand the common sense of scabies prevention, and do a good job in scabies prevention and infection publicity. Avoiding the spread of scabies can no longer be ignored. Relevant departments are constantly paying attention to it.

Dermatologists recommend that people with scabies:

1. If there is a scabies patient at home or several family members have symptoms of erythema, papules, and itching at the same time, you should pay attention to it - are you infected with scabies? Take isolation and treatment measures at an early stage to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed treatment that may lead to scabies nodules.

2. If a child shows symptoms of scabies, his or her clothes should be washed with boiling water every day. At the same time, he or she should take a bath or wipe the whole body with FuLu Kang lotion in the early stage. Immediately purchase professional scabies treatment products: such as FuQing Jie Ning (pure Chinese medicine preparation), Scabies Kang Ning and other products, apply directly to the symptom area or use on the whole body. Generally, the child can recover completely in 5-8 days. If the family is careless or the treatment is not timely, the child may often develop scabies nodules on the scrotum, inner thighs, and areas with thin and tender skin after being infected with scabies, which increases the difficulty of treatment and increases the child's pain.

3. The clothes, beddings of children with scabies, and family members’ belongings must be disinfected. If they can be washed with boiling water, it is recommended to do so. If they cannot be washed with boiling water, use an electric iron.

4. Scabies patients must insist on taking medications during treatment. They cannot take breaks or interrupt their use. The treatment must be thorough at one time, and continuous prevention must be maintained to avoid reinfection.

Scabies patients should have a good mentality. The impact of scabies can be very big or very small. As long as scabies patients face the disease seriously and correctly, scabies can be cured in the near future.
