Scabies is highly relevant in South Africa specifically because our climate, combined with high-density living in many communities, creates an environment where transmission can occur easily.

South Africa also faces a high burden of bacterial skin infections — and scabies.

Because scabies is often misunderstood, many cases go untreated for weeks or months — allowing the infestation to spread within households and communities.

South Africa cannot afford to treat scabies as insignificant.

This misconception prevents people from seeking treatment early and creates unnecessary embarrassment.

𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫:

Scabies spreads primarily through prolonged skin-to-skin contact. Anyone can be affected.

When stigma prevents open discussion, outbreaks worsen. When education replaces judgment, transmission decreases.

Skabi-Rid is committed to raising awareness about scabies as a legitimate medical condition — not a social label.

By speaking openly about symptoms, treatment, and prevention, we reduce spread and protect communities.

Scabies is officially recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) — and that classification matters.

But what does “neglected” actually mean?

Neglected Tropical Diseases are conditions that:

• 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦, 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬

• 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚

At any given time, more than 300 million people globally are affected by scabies.

Despite this enormous number, scabies has historically received limited global attention, funding, and coordinated intervention compared to other infectious conditions.

𝐖𝐡𝐲?

Because it is often dismissed as minor.

But the impact is far from minor.

The “neglect” lies not in its rarity — but in how underestimated it has been.

Recognition as an NTD means global health systems are now taking scabies seriously.

Skabi-Rid is designed to eliminate mites effectively when used correctly, helping reduce the progression toward bacterial infection.

If you or your family has experienced scabies, you’ll know one thing for certain:

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 — 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥.

Scabies mites are more active in warm environments.

When your body temperature rises under blankets and you are no longer distracted by daytime activity, the mites increase their movement within the skin.

This triggers a heightened immune response, causing intense itching, inflammation, and irritation.

Sleep deprivation alone can significantly impact mental health.

This is why early and effective scabies treatment is critical.

Scabies does not simply “settle down.” It requires targeted treatment to eliminate the mites and stop the cycle.

Skabi-Rid is formulated to address the root cause — the infestation itself — helping restore skin comfort and quality of sleep.

Scabies thrives in environments where close contact is unavoidable such as in Student residences, hostels and care facilities.

In high-density living environments, a single untreated case can quickly escalate into a broader outbreak.

𝐖𝐡𝐲?

Because scabies spreads primarily through prolonged skin-to-skin contact and shared textiles such as bedding and clothing.

This is not symbolic — it is strategic.

The goal is clear:
✔ Reduce global disease burden
✔ Improve early diagnosis
✔ Strengthen community-level interventions
✔ Expand access to effective treatment
✔ Break transmission cycles

Why 2030?

Because sustainable control requires long-term public health planning
Without coordinated treatment and education, outbreaks repeat.

The WHO’s 2030 roadmap focuses on:

• 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬
• 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬

• 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬

This approach recognises that scabies is not just a dermatological issue — it is a social, economic, and mental health issue.

Controlling scabies by 2030 means protecting vulnerable populations and reducing preventable suffering.
