Scabies Rash Infestation (Scabies Rash)

Scabies Rash

Scabies rash needs immediate treatment because the females lay eggs under the skin as soon as they get on it, so you may discover that you are covered by hundreds of mites if you don't do anything about it. The mites are attracted by the human body and they get on it as soon as they have the chance. Furthermore, scabies rash is very contagious, it can be transmitted from one person to another just by touching them or using a towel or piece of clothing used by them. Scabies rash can spread very quickly in large public institutions such as hospitals, schools, prisons, or in the army, so the risks of getting scabies can be pretty high for many.

More than 200 million cases of scabies rash are encountered each year worldwide. The first symptom that appears after the scabies rash infection is a red itchy rash on the skin. The itching varies in intensity and it's usually much worse at night. The rash first appears on the hands (mostly on the skin between the fingers), on the feet, or on the wrists and elbows. It then spreads to the waist, genitalia and on the chest. At most people this scabies rash looks like tiny red dots, or pimples.

Is this information correct? I thought there were only 15-25 scabies mites on the body at any given time. And I've read that it doesn't always appear on the hands first?
