In this video, Dr. Paulo talks about Scabies, popularly known as Mange. It is caused by the parasite Sarcoptes Scabiei. It usually causes widespread itching that is more intense at night. Many people believe that Scabies is related to poor personal hygiene habits and that it is transmitted through contact with domestic animals. It is important to note that contamination occurs more commonly among humans, and that even people with adequate hygiene habits can contract the disease. Scabies can spread quickly among those in contact. Therefore, it is important that people close to the patient are also evaluated and treated, thus preventing cyclical contamination. Treatment is simple and consists of killing the mites (parasites) and their eggs. The most common medications for this purpose are: Lotion with Permethrin Ivermectin You may also be interested in: Itching, what could it be? • Itching, what could it be? - Dr. Paulo ...
