Can scabies be transmitted to family members?

Scabies is an

infectious disease that can be transmitted to other people through direct contact with the affected skin or indirect contact with contaminated clothing, towels, bath towels and bed sheets. If you still live with your family and share personal items after you are sick, you will be transmitted to your family. However, if you pay attention to self-isolation after infection, and the clothes and used items are thoroughly disinfected, you will generally not be transmitted to your family.

After diagnosis, you need to see a doctor in time for standardized treatment. At the same time, you should keep yourself clean and hygienic. You should also wear loose and soft clothes every day.
