Hello lybrate user, scabies is an infection by parasite. Most commonly occurs in conditions where there is over crowding eg in hostels, poor body hygiene, using common clothes etc. It can spread from person to person through contact, sharing clothes. The parasite burrows below our skin and moves during night times. This is the time we feel itchy sensation. We need to soak all of the clothes in warm water and wash them properly and apply ointments for cure.
