This mite named Sarcoptes scabiei, has a very small size and can nest in the layers of human skin, it will dig tunnels and lay eggs in the skin, so people with scabies will feel itchy on their skin.

2. Head lice

Head lice are parasites that live on the scalp and cause itchy scalp. The medical term for the disease caused by head lice is pediculosis capitis.

A person can get head lice from contact with the head of another person who has head lice. This is different from the public opinion, that head lice arise due to poor hygiene of the hair and scalp, or as a result of infection from animals.

Itching on the scalp makes sufferers scratch their heads continuously. Itching will be more pronounced at night, because fleas are more active in dark conditions. As a result, sufferers have difficulty sleeping.

Scratching the head continuously will cause the scalp to hurt, and if the wound is infected with bacteria, pus will appear.

When to go to the doctor. Head lice can be treated with a comb, as well as over-the-counter lice-killing liquid or shampoo. If you have been doing self-medication at home but the head lice do not go away, immediately consult a doctor.

From the symptoms of itching on the head, head lice can be detected by looking at the presence of lice on the head. If the lice cannot be seen directly, the patient can use a serit comb, which is a special comb that can capture head lice and nits.

Mites can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, or indirectly through contaminated clothes, towels, pillows, water, or other personal items.

Mites that live on human skin will also not cause serious symptoms, because generally symptoms can heal on their own without specific medical treatment. Some people who are susceptible to scabies are people who live in dormitories, people who are sexually active, people who live in prisons, and people who live in densely populated neighborhoods.

This tunnel is also used as a place to survive by becoming parasites on human skin. Transmission of scabies to humans can be done in two ways, namely:

Direct contact with sufferers through sexual intercourse, hugs, or shaking hands.

Indirect contact with sufferers through clothing, towels, bedding, pillows, and other equipment that has been contaminated with mites.

Head lice are most often transmitted through direct contact with the patient's head. Without direct contact, head lice cannot move from one head to another. This is because head lice are not able to fly or jump.

Although they cannot fly or jump, head lice can crawl quickly. This allows head lice to pass from the sufferer's head to the heads of others through objects used on the head, such as hats, scarves, combs, pillows, towels, and headphones.

Transmission can also occur if someone keeps these objects in the same place as the patient's belongings, for example putting clothes in the same cupboard.
