The diagnosis of Scabies (mites) or worm infestations usually is done based on the usual appearance, distribution of the rash, and the existence of burrows.
To confirm the diagnosis, doctors should identify the specific mite or worm, the eggs of the mite or worm, or their faecal matter. This is done by carefully removing the mite or worm from the end of its burrow using a needle tip or by obtaining a skin scraping and visualising it under the microscope. Visualisation may even be done with the help of dermatoscopy. To learn more on scabies and skin worm treatment cost in Bangalore, contact the skin doctors at Charma Clinic.
