Scabies breaks out in Albania, dermatology shows what kills the parasite

Cases and infections from scabies have increased in our country. The alarm was given by dermatologist Violeta Dajçi in a link for "Dita Jonë", according to which there is not a day that dermatologists do not encounter patients with this type of infection. The doctor emphasized that the new mutation of this infection affects even the cleanest, while appealing for increased caution.

"There are increased cases of scabies. not a day goes by that dermatologists do not come across patients infected by this type of parasite. It is a parasite that spreads rapidly through contact, shaking hands and hugging. It spreads very easily and more often with the people we have the most contact with. The caution is that when you are in an environment with infected people, you should take extra care for your protection, disinfect your hands more often, or when you know that you have this parasite, you should protect others. When this spreads in the family circle it can spread and become a vicious circle. There is no age or sex selected. It is no longer among impure people, it spreads among those who have the most increased hygiene. It's not like before that you treated him in family and took a break or left. Now it happens that not all people in the same family have it" , said the doctor in A2.

Dermatology pointed out in A2 that the new scabies mutation is not as easily treated as before and family medicine does not always work. According to her, the most frequent cases have come from abroad.

"This type of parasite or new variant that has entered Albania is not like before; chooses the type of skin where it likes to live and is not in other family members. But it is not treated as easily as before, it is more difficult. We provide family medicine. but it doesn't always work. As an experienced doctor, I contracted many cases from patients who came from outside England, Spain and Italy. Most of them say it from these countries", emphasized Dajçi in A2.

One of the characteristic signs of scabies, according to the dermatologist, is itching, especially at night when the body is at rest. She appeals that if they notice these signs, they go to the doctor and advises that in addition to hygiene, the sun and iron suppress this disease.

"A characteristic sign is itching at night, when the body is at rest. If you notice these types of signs, especially at night or when you change the environment, you should suspect this parasite and go to the dermatologist. It is not a disease of shame as it was called before. It catches more those who have increased hygiene. If you notice these signs, go to the doctor, get the right advice, such as hygiene, iron and the sun drown this type of parasite. Frequent changing, frequent washing and these can help treat this type of disease", said the doctor in A2.

Scabies, according to the dermatologist, is not a dangerous disease, but it creates terrible psychoses, it can become chronic, there is no immunity and the duration is undefined.

"It is not dangerous, but it creates terrible psychoses that turn into chronic parasites. Every time the patient itches, the parasite moves and spreads longitudinally. It is important to treat it with creams and give medications that calm the itching. The sooner you treat it, the easier it will be. When it becomes chronic it is more difficult. We should bathe often. Bathing removes parasites. The duration of the disease is undetermined. There is no immunity, it can come back several times". (A2 Television)
