Patient's question:
Does scabies always cause infection? Generally, what are the routes of infection? What methods are best for preventing the disease? If you get this disease, what methods are most effective for treatment? Are there any topical creams that can be applied?Doctor's answer:
Its infectivity is relatively strong, so it is essential to start treatment early after diagnosis. Additionally, preventive measures must be taken to prevent transmission to family members. Being infectious does not mean a 100% infection rate. If the body's immunity is strong, the chance of infection is lower. However, it is especially important to be cautious—if you come into contact with someone who has scabies, the infection rate is also relatively high, so timely treatment is necessary.
