What Is a Scabies Rash?
5. Do Children Experience Scabies the Same as Adults?
It is possible for adults and children alike to develop a scabies rash. While the symptoms and general areas of impact are the same, there are minor differences to note. Primarily, infants and small babies are more likely to have a rash on their scalps and palms.
Since little children are not able to express their discomfort as directly as adults, parents should stay mindful of any strange red spots that develop on the head, hands, and feet. Babies are usually passed around from one adult to the next, making a scabies infestation easy to contract.
