Scabies in schools! Doctors note an increase in cases in educational

With the contagious disease of scabies, or as it is known in the medical language, "scabies", there is an increase in cases in the country, which are found especially in educational institutions.

Dermatologists are concerned about the aggressiveness of this infection recently, as they assess it as a global emergency. However, not all parents are aware, and in QSUT the situation is not alarming.

"I am not aware. I have not heard of infections, the girl has had no problems. How can we make sure for the children that at school they are the first to be affected by many children in the class", say the parents.

The peak of the disease seems to reach with the arrival of September. Although pharmacists show that patients who are treated with scabies are continuous. "We can say that the concern of patients has always been present in the pharmacy, such as those who come by themselves to ask or those who come after visiting a dermatologist or family doctor. Of course, the start of schools and the opening of dormitories leads to increased cases. Scabia is a contagious disease, usually children are the ones who bring it home", says pharmacist Teuta Maçi, for Tch.

However, care should always be taken, experts say. Therefore, they require not to neglect the symptoms of skin irritation. "Scabies, if previously it was cured with one or two applications at most, but more and more we notice that it is resistant, which means the cure becomes more difficult. Hygiene measures must be taken, distance must be maintained, care must be taken with the symptoms, medical assistance must be sought so that the infection does not spread", added Maçi.
