Not related to scabies

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Hair fall has no relation to scabies.
Can you please upload a photograph of the involved area.
I would like to assess the pattern of thinning of hair on your scalp.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
