Avoid pinching it out, since this can inject more venom into the wound. Once the scabies mites are on your skin, they will burrow under the skin and lay eggs, which will hatch into adult mites in about ten days. An intensely itchy rash develops a few weeks later, as your body develops an allergic reaction to the mites and eggs. The rash consists of small red bumps or blisters and commonly are found between your child's fingers, on the inside of the wrists, in his armpits and groin area. You may also see small lines around the bumps, which are the burrows that the mites create as they travel under the skin.
Symptoms begin with a low grade fever, loss of appetite and decreased activity.
The bumps then become blisters with clear and then cloudy fluid, and then become open sores and finally crust over within about twenty four hours, but your child will continue to get new bumps for about four more days. Head lice infestations are a common problem in infants and children, even in those who practice good hygiene and frequent hair washing. The most common symptom of children infected with head lice is itching of the scalp and back of the neck, although some children do not complain if they have a light infestation. They move very fast and are most commonly seen at the back of the neck and behind the ears. Nits are eggs from the adult lice and are whitish and are firmly attached to hairs.
