Scabies outbreak prompts pharmacy warning

There's a warning after a sharp rise in a highly-infectious condition spread by skin mites.

A scabies outbreak on the Island has prompted a pharmacy to tell people to seek help if they notice any symptoms.

Karsons Pharmacy says although it can be uncomfortable, it is fully treatable, and you should seek help if anyone in your household has persistent itching, a red, bumpy rash or thin lines or burrows on the skin.

On Facebook, it says you should consult a chemist or your GP.
