What Is Scabies?
5. Scabies In Children
Young children can also get scabies. Indeed, infestations are common in children because they tend to stay closer together in groups, making it easier for the mites to spread from person to person. When young children are infested, the mites are likely to be found in certain areas.
In children, the mites will often be found around the head and neck area. The soles of the feet are other preferred spots for the mites, as are the palms of the hands. Regardless of the nature of the symptoms, scabies can be very unpleasant for young children so you should try and get help for them as soon as possible.
