Scabies

Scabies

Scabies is an infestation caused by a mite, which is an insect-like creature that is microscopic in size. Scabies is highly contagious and may produce epidemics within communities, boarding schools, households, etc. Nothing more than brief, casual contact with a person who is infested is required for transmission. Personal hygiene and cleanliness have absolutely nothing to do with Scabies. People vary greatly in their sensitivity to the Scabies mite. One person with scabies may suffer unbearable itching, while others will experience little or none at all. The only manifestations of the disease are itching and a rash. The internal organs are never affected by scabies. Scabies is treated by Dr. Green for patients in the DC, Virginia, and Maryland regions.

I’ve gone to Dr. Green for many years. He’s a fine doctor, relaxed and knowledgeable, encourages questions, and explains things well. Very good experience. Pleasant and helpful office as well.

“After visits over the past 10 years with three different Dermatologists, none of whom could cure my condition, I proceeded to go to Dr. David Green in Bethesda. My condition, which I jokingly called “chapped face”, was no joking matter. My nose and skin to the side of my nose was constantly red and was not attractive-take my word for it. So I go to Dr. Green and he recommends a medication which he gives me out of his supply room. In just one night, after application, my ten-year old condition was cured by the time I woke up in the morning – like magic. I was very impressed, needless to say, and have referred Dr. Green to all of my friends, who have been equally happy.”
