10 Scabies Symptoms
3. Scabies Burrows
Blemish-free skin is not just a mark of beauty, but also a sign of good health. While rashes are bad enough, scabies does complicate this aspect of appearance even further. Female mites can often cause track-like burrows to appear in the skin. These raised lines are caused by the mites traveling just beneath the surface of the skin as they lay eggs. These lines can appear skin-colored or take on a grayish-white hue.
Because most scabies sufferers have between 10-15 mites on their person at a time, these lines are not always common. They are more likely to be found on the webbing of fingers, skin folds, genital areas, and shoulder blades.
