My 10 –year- old son, who has been in boarding school for just two months, came home with itchy skin rashes which is worse at night. The doctor diagnosed him with Scabies but I did not believe the doctor because my son is very clean. Can this be scabies?

Yes, it looks like Scabies. The disease is usually very rampant in boarding schools and enclosed communities such as prison yards and hospitals. In addition to the use of anti-scabies medications, improvement in personal hygiene, including the disinfection and sometimes outright burning of beddings and mattresses, are also very important.
