what are other names for scabies?

Scabies is caused by a parasite that gets under the skin and not always caused by poor hygiene. Sarcoptic mange or the seven year itch are other name for it.

scabies is a prevalent skin condition that effects people of all classes and ethnicities all over the world. Scabies is an ancient affliction, estimated to have infected humans for the last 2,500 years. The WHO considers scabies to be a water-related disease because of the connection between bathing and personal hygiene to prevention or control of its spread. The tick that causes scabies, however, is not dependent on water for transmission or for any part of its life cycle.

Scientific Name: Sarcoptes scabiei (var hominis)

It's a scabies skin scraping.

Scabies is caused by small mites (bugs) as a result of a lack of personal hygiene. It is spread by contact with an infected person or contacting certain items (e.g. sheets, clothing) that the infected individual has also been in contact with. I have also heard scabies called mites, itch mites, or simply bugs. There is some pretty good information located at:
