Abstract
Scabies Awareness and Fear of Scabies Scale-10
Highlights
Since ancient times, many epidermal parasitic skin diseases (EPSD) have affected people worldwide
4% had known someone with scabies and of these only 73% felt they would be supportive of the infected person
The present survey confirmed that most participants (94%) were unaware about the facts about scabies, perhaps due to the neglected status of the disease
Summary
Many epidermal parasitic skin diseases (EPSD) have affected people worldwide. There is a plethora of studies concerned with psychosocial effects of many other diseases, no study to my knowledge has addressed the problem of human scabies in this context. No study to my knowledge has devised or included a scabies awareness and educational component in the prevention and control plan.
