*Message to Families*
(Guidance sought from Public Health Wales)
Dear Families,
We hope you are well. We are writing to remind everyone of the importance of seeking prompt medical advice if any family member has symptoms of scabies, such as persistent itching—especially at night—or a rash that appears in lines or clusters.
If you, or anyone in your household, has been diagnosed with scabies or has had direct contact with someone who has it, it is essential that all immediate and extended family members who have been in close contact also receive treatment, even if they are not showing symptoms. This is vital to prevent further transmission and to help protect both your loved one and other residents in the home.
Please consult your GP or a medical professional for appropriate treatment, typically Permethrin cream or as advised.
If you have any concerns or believe you may have symptoms, please inform us as soon as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for our residents.
