    Scabies, also known as Sarcoptic mange, is a highly contagious skin infestation caused by the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and a pimple-like rash. The condition spreads through close physical contact and can affect people of all ages, making prompt diagnosis and treatment essential to prevent widespread outbreaks.
