Scabies is typically diagnosed through a combination of clinical symptoms and microscopic examination of skin scrapings. The most common symptoms include intense itching, especially at night, and a rash with small, red bumps or blisters. Characteristic burrow tracks made by the female scabies mite may also be visible on the skin.

To confirm the diagnosis, a healthcare provider will take a skin scraping from an affected area and examine it under a microscope for the presence of mites, eggs, or fecal matter. However, this method has a relatively low sensitivity, as the mites are often few in number and difficult to extract. In cases where the diagnosis is unclear or the patient has a weakened immune system, Buy Ivermectin may be used as a diagnostic tool.

Ivermectin is an Antiparasitic medication that is effective against scabies. When taken orally, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and eliminates the mites and their eggs. If the patient experiences significant improvement in symptoms after taking ivermectin, it can help confirm the diagnosis of scabies, even in the absence of a positive skin scraping. This approach is particularly useful when topical treatments have failed or when dealing with crusted scabies, which is characterized by a high mite burden and often requires systemic treatment.
