Symptom #3: Sores

Due to the rash and itchiness, the skin can be damaged due to excessive itching. These sores can become infected and caused more complications such as impetigo, an infection from a bacterium known as staphylococcus aureus that is commonly found on the skin.

The sores usually appear after a longer period of itching and can look like tiny curve tracks that are due to the excavation of the scabies mite. In some cases, you may even be able to see the mite itself that looks like a tiny black dot, usually at the end of a track.
