Scabies
“Scabies is extremely viral” according to G. Thomas Ruiz, MD, OB/GYN, and lead gynecologist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California.
He also noted that it can be spread through person-to-person contact, but also via contaminated surfaces and shared linens and garments. These small parasites that are at fault for causing scabies will typically be found behind the kneecaps, in the crook of the elbow, or between the fingers in the webbing.
Luckily, the treatment is simple: there’s a scabies-fighting body lotion that you need to use. Other than that, you also have to throw everything the infected person might have worn in the wash.
