===Rash===
The superficial burrows of scabies usually occur in the area of the finger webs, feet, ventral wrists, elbows, back, buttocks, and external genitals.<ref name=Ray2009/> Except in infants and the immunosuppressed, infection generally does not occur in the skin of the face or scalp. The burrows are created by the excavation of the adult mite in the [[epidermis (skin)|epidermis]].<ref name=Ray2009/>  [[Acropustulosis]], or blisters and pustules on the palms and soles of the feet, are characteristic symptoms of scabies in infants.<ref name="DermNet"/>

In most people, the trails of the burrowing mites are linear or S-shaped tracks in the skin, often accompanied by rows of small, pimple-like mosquito or insect bites. Lesions are symmetrical and mainly affect the hands, wrists, axillae, thighs, buttocks, waist, soles of the feet, areola, and vulva in females, and penis and scrotum in males. The neck and above are usually not affected, except in cases of crusted scabies and infestations of infants, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.<ref name=DermNet>{{cite web | title=Scabies: Diagnosis and Treatment with Images | vauthors = Maguire JR |date=March 2022| publisher=DermNet | url=https://dermnetnz.org/topics/scabies}} With link to many images</ref> Symptoms typically appear two to six weeks after infestation for individuals never before exposed to scabies. For those having been previously exposed, the symptoms can appear within several days after infestation. However, symptoms may appear after several months or years.<ref name=Bouvresse-2010 />
