What Is a Scabies Rash?
4. Does Scabies Impact a Specific Area of the Body?
There are particular spots on the body that scabies mites tend to prefer. While it is entirely possible to develop a rash anywhere, certain areas offer better conditions for the mites to thrive. If you develop a rash in one of these spots, be sure to check other “hotbed” parts of the body to guarantee your infestation is isolated.
The areas most likely to be infested include the armpits, near the waist, the soles of the feet, between fingers, and around the genitals. These places all provide ideal environments for the mites to lay eggs and offer slight protection and cover.
