What do scabies look like?
The general rule is scabies mites cannot be seen by the naked eye and are rarely observed above the neck. Scabies tend to have traditional patterns and rashes on certain areas of the body. Rashes on the wrists, inside of elbow, groin, belly button, behind the knees, chest, under bra straps, belts and waist bands are all common with scabies. Some report seeing little lint-like particles or fibers, which can be bothersome in the eyelashes and eyebrows. Some report seeing little flecks of black pepper. Some report seeing like white grains of salt. These latter symptoms are more associated with a condition called Morgellens, collembola or springtails.
