Theres not much of a question here but if you mean originate they can be picked up in a number of ways.  Scabies are contracted through contact with a person or items used by a person who has them.  Usually this is some type of prolonged contact, such as sex or sitting in a chair they frequently use, though I have heard of people getting them through shorter contacts like shaking hands as well.

Scabies are typically characterized by itching between the fingers and toes, as well as in the groin area and insides of joints.  Itching tends to be worse at night.  If you have not been scratching you may be able to notice small red areas of irritation where the itching is located.  

Treatment involves washing all fabrics in your home and applying a salve that kills the mites that cause the irritation.  The salve has to be applied to the entire body and left on for several hours to take effect.  It may require a couple attempts if one or more scabies is not eliminated the first time.  However, there should be some substantial relief after one application.

Hello,
Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Rash in scabies is usually found in the folds of skin and they are red blister like rashes.It is very contagious and if any of your family members has it,then treatment is directed at all the family members.

Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
