Question: How Do I Get Tested For Scabies?

Answer:

Scabies is normally diagnosed by the appearance of the skin rash it causes. Doctors can also take a scraping of the rash to test it for the presence of the scabies mites, their eggs, or their feces, but this test has a high occurrence of false negatives. You may still have scabies even if the skin scraping comes back negative.
