subject: Scabies at Night [print this page] Author: Jesse Ryan Author: Jesse Ryan
Scabies is a skin disease caused by a parasitic mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. These parasites are burrowed beneath the surface of the skin and it takes a while before they actually start showing symptoms. Scabies can cause a lot of irritation and rash on the skin accompanied with itching and pain.
It is often reported by the scabies patients that the scabies itch gets worse at night. The reason behind this could be that these parasites thrive on the human body. They are also known to be light phobic and stay in the skin while the human body is active during the day. The red patches or the scaly appearances prove that the mites are underlying on that particular location. The mites survive on the human blood and reproduce very fast. At the night, when the human host is still, these mites usually leave the skin, in order to search for more mates. They can also hide in the bed sheets or other objects. They often die off once they leave the human host and therefore they remained burrowed under the skin. As soon as the mammals relax or slow down their activities, the mites start reproducing themselves, so as to survive.
For this mere reason, all the medications for scabies are focussed towards eliminating them completely. Even during or after the treatment process, the mites are highly itchy and such symptoms might till long. The dead mites continue to stay beneath the skin and hence continue to cause allergic conditions in the skin.About the Author:
