Tiny Red Dots on Your Skin: Could It Be Scabies?

Key Symptoms of Scabies:

1. Persistent Itching: Worsens at night, especially after warm showers.
2. Red Bumps or Dots: Often appear in clusters on warm areas like hands, wrists, and between fingers.
3. Sores and Infections: Scratching can lead to open sores and possible infections.

Why It’s Important

Outbreaks in the UK, particularly in northern England, have led to a 100% increase in cases. Early detection and treatment with prescribed creams can prevent the spread and relieve discomfort. If you notice these symptoms, seek medical help and avoid sharing personal items to prevent reinfestation.
