Scabies are horrible little mites that can burrow under your skin. It could be a few weeks before you experience any symptoms. Scabies will cause a lot of scratching and create a rash.

How long before scabies are gone Because I think I somehow contracted it and my husband has had them before from his ex and I just want to know how long you can have them or be infected?

Scabies can be passed by sharing clothing, towels and bedding with someone who is infected. However, this is less likely to cause an infection than skin-to-skin contact. It can take up to eight weeks for the symptoms of scabies to appear after initial infection. This is known as the incubation period. You should visit your GP if you think you have scabies. It is not usually a serious condition but does need to be treated. The two most widely used treatments for scabies are permethrin cream and Malathion Lotion. Both medications contain insecticides that kill the scabies mite.Permethrin cream is usually recommended as the first treatment. Malathion lotion is used if permethrin cream proves ineffective your partner has been diagnosed with genital scabies, to avoid reinfection you should visit your nearest sexual health clinic so you can be checked and, if necessary, treated. You should avoid having sex and other forms of close bodily contact until both you and your partner have completed the full course of treatment
