Answer:

Scabies

Step-by-step explanation:

Scabies is an infection caused by a mite (tick), the Sarcoptes scabiei. Most of the time, it is transmitted through direct contact (sexual or not) and can be considered a sexually transmitted disease / infection, although it can be transmitted by contaminated clothing (towel, sheet, underwear). The most common symptom is severe itching (usually more intense at night and dawn). There is also the appearance of abrasions (scratches) in some regions of the body such as wrists, elbows, armpits and between the fingers.
