A woman who had scabies has described the experience as a "nightmare" as figures show a rise in reported cases of the parasitic infestation.
Jane Grandon, from Caerphilly, said scabies - caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin - had a "really bad impact" on her, after being misdiagnosed several times and losing out on earnings while being off work.
Dr Donald Grant, a GP who practises in a Welsh NHS surgery, said reported cases had risen steadily in recent years, with figures "massively exceeding" pre-pandemic levels.
