Pediculosis and scabies are parasitic infections. Pediculosis is the infection caused by the parasite Pediculus humanus. It is an ectoparasite and feeds on blood. It infects hairy body parts such as the scalp and pubic area. In this condition, lice attach to the scalp and lay eggs at the base of the hair. Scabies is an infection caused by the mite, Sarcoptes scabiei. The mites attach themselves to the skin and cause skin rashes, intense itching, and burning sensation. It usually affects the knees, elbows, breasts, thighs, pubic area, and webbing between the fingers.
