'Scabies' Many may associate scabies with hand infestations, but it is also a common occurrence on the male genitalia.
Scabies results from an infestation by the microscopic parasite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. This parasite typically spreads through close personal contact or by sharing clothing and personal items. Outbreaks are common in densely populated environments such as boarding schools or nursing homes.
Symptoms typically include intense itching, especially at night. Red papules are most commonly found on the hands, but also frequently appear as red bumps on the scrotum and penis. Untreated scabies can lead to widespread excoriations from scratching and transmission to close contacts. Treatment involves both oral and topical medications.
