 Scabies is an infestation of small mites that burrow into the skin and cause itchy rashes. 

You will need medical treatment to get rid of them, but some things lying around your home might help.

Aloe vera is well-known for its soothing effect on sunburn and other skin ailments. Aloe vera is usually considered safe to use with minimal side effects reported.

One small study has shown that aloe vera is effective in treating scabies. It was, in fact, found to be as effective as a prescription drug called benzyl benzoate.

More research is required to fully test the effects of aloe vera in the treatment of scabies.
