There are a lot of reasons why a person's skin will produce a rash, so identifying the scabies rash can only be done when coupled with the identification of other symptoms of scabies. A persistent rash accompanied with intense itching could well indicate a scabies infestation. A rash caused by the scabies mite causes severe itching and soreness which intensifies at night making sleep difficult or impossible. The discomfort from the scabies rash will also intensify when you take a hot shower or bath. With the Rash Treatment the skin will have small pimple-like bumps with the presence of larger red bumps with tiny burrows revealed on the surface of the skin.

The burrows are very difficult to see or will be distorted by scratching. They can be easily exposed by taking a dark, water-based, felt-tipped marker and marking the larger bumps, then take a gauze pad that has been made wet with rubbing alcohol and rub the ink over the same area. When wiped dry, the tunnels will be apparent as tiny, s-shaped lines just under the skin. It helps to use a magnifying glass and a bright light as the burrows are very small (only 2-3 mm). To summarize, the symptoms of scabies would include: intense itching, burrows, inflammation, pain, discomfort, swelling of the skin, pustules, and nodules. These symptoms indicate a probable infestation and an appropriate scabies treatment will be required, such as is offered below.
Relief from the itch can be obtained, however, by applying body lotions containing shea butter and you can also use antihistamines that arrest the allergic reactions. If after the treatment for scabies the rash comes back and intensifies after a few weeks, it indicates that the treatment was unsuccessful, that you have been re-infested and will need to repeat or change the treatment.

Scabies rash is usually the first symptom to be noticed and may take 2-4 months to heal after the scabies have been successfully eradicated from the host. Even when the scabies are properly treated and eradicated, the rash will continue for some time! Don't be alarmed when this happens as the look of the rash changes and it slowly goes away along with the itch. This is because even after the mites die, they remain under the skin and continue to produce allergens that cause the scabies rash. The mites leave behind toxic substances to the human body. Over time, the damaged skin is slowly replaced by newer, healthy skin that is continually moving to the surface from the lower (dermis and epidermis) layers of skin.
Even though scabies are quite contagious, the rash caused by the scabies mite can't be transmitted from one person to another. The rash caused by the mite occurs when the body develops allergic reactions to the scabies mites, the mites' feces, secretions, eggs and larvae. The mite is the only contagious aspect in the transmission of scabies. When the scabies mites are transmitted to a person they quickly reproduce, infesting their host which results in the symptoms of the scabies rash. These symptoms occur within 3 to 6 weeks of the first mites' transmission to the new host. Future infestations usually result in the allergic reaction occurring much more quickly, (2-3 days) as the person's body "remembers" the allergens and reacts to the mite.
