Visible scabies symptoms include a rash and bumps between the fingers, inside the wrists, elbows, or knees. Other scabies symptoms show in the skin creases of the buttocks and groin, around the navel and nipples (especially in women). Scabies symptoms will also manifest on the feet, and on external genitalia as seen in the scabies pictures on this site. 
One of the scabies symptoms is bumps in the skin, these bumps contain nests for hatching and growing mites. They can become inflamed, crusty, and hard, and can persist for weeks after treatment. The burrows may appear as short, zigzag, grayish lines under the skin. Scabies is a local infection with no known systemic complications. The itching and rash (scabies symptoms) will intensify and spread without treatment. Scratching the rash area often produces secondary bacterial infection, pus-filled lesions, and cracks in the skin (scabies symptoms).
