Background: Scabies is an infectious skin disease caused by a microscopic mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. The disease spreads rapidly through direct skin-to-skin contact or indirectly through contaminated personal items.

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to identify scabies cases in the dermatology department of Kandahar Mirwais Regional Hospital. The secondary objective was to analyze the distribution of patients according to age, gender, and geographical location.

Methodology: A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Mirwais Regional Hospital. Data were collected from patient registry books from the month of Sunbula to the end of Hoot in the solar year 1402. From the total number of recorded cases, data from 308 patients were selected and analyzed using SPSS software.

Results: During the study period, a total of 1,531 patients diagnosed with scabies visited the dermatology department. Among them, data from 308 patients were analyzed, including 199 males and 109 females. The mean age of patients was 21.23 years, the median age was 18 years, and the standard deviation was 16.63. Most patients were residents of Kandahar City.

Conclusion: The study indicates that scabies was more prevalent among males. The majority of affected individuals were young and lived in densely populated areas, particularly Kandahar City. These findings highlight the urgent need for public awareness programs and preventive measures, especially in crowded communities.
