10 Scabies Symptoms
9. Nail Scabies
Most bugs like a warm and dark space. These conditions provide an inviting environment where they can hide and reproduce. The human body makes for a desirable host as mites get to do just this and feed. One of the less common infestation sites that many doctors overlook is below the toe and fingernail.
Because it is sometimes not as closely inspected, it can often be a source of re-infection, especially for those that suffer the worst form of scabies, crusted scabies. The thickened nails often become yellowish in color and crumbly in texture. Sufferers may find the nails more difficult to cut than before they suffered scabies.
