What is Parasitic Infection?

Parasitic infections occur when parasites such as mites, lice, or worms invade the skin or body, causing itching, redness, rashes, and discomfort. Common skin-related parasitic infections include scabies, head lice, and cutaneous larva migrans.

Causes & Risk Factors

  • Direct Contact – Spread through skin-to-skin or close personal contact.

  • Contaminated Items – Towels, bedding, or clothing carrying mites or lice.

  • Poor Hygiene – Favors parasite growth and transmission.

  • Crowded Environments – Schools, hostels, and shared living spaces.

  • Pets or Animals – Certain parasites transfer from animals to humans.

  • Weakened Immunity – Increases susceptibility to infestations.
