Use these notes with your child’s clinician. This tool does not diagnose illness, prescribe treatment or confirm that home care is safe.

Contact a healthcare professional

Care reminders
- Scabies is a very itchy rash caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin. It is easy to cure when everyone in close contact is treated at the same time.
- Treat everyone in close contact the same night, repeat a week later, and hot-wash bedding, towels and clothes.
- Call if new bumps appear two weeks after the last treatment or itching lasts beyond 4 weeks.
