“Scabies is extremely communicable,” says G. Thomas Ruiz, MD, OB/GYN, lead gynecologist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California. He notes that it can be spread through person-to-person contact as well as via contaminated surfaces and shared linens and garments.
The small parasite that causes scabies will typically live behind the kneecaps, in the crook of the elbow, and between the fingers in the webbing. Fortunately, treatment isn’t particularly onerous: a scabies-fighting body lotion—as well as throwing everything the infected person has worn in the wash—should do the trick.
