Scabies is a skin infection caused by the itch mite. The female mite burrows into the skin -- between the fingers, in the wrist area, and in the armpit. Babies can get scabies on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. Scabies cause intense itching, which can lead to the formation of sores, blisters, scabs, and the possibility of secondary bacterial infection.
This type of infection is fairly common. It can involve almost any skin on the body, but most often it occurs in warm, moist, creased areas such as the armpits and groin. The fungus that most often causes cutaneous candidiasis is Candida albicans. Candida is the most common cause of diaper rash in infants.
