what are the symptoms of scabies
Common Symptoms. The most common symptoms of scabies, itching and a skin rash, are caused by sensitization (a type of âallergicâ reaction) to the proteins and feces of the parasite. Severe itching (pruritus), especially at night, is the earliest and most common symptom of scabies.f a person has had scabies before, symptoms appear much sooner (1-4 days) after exposure. An infested person can transmit scabies, even if they do not have symptoms, until they are successfully treated and the mites and eggs are destroyed.
