Explanation: Scabies burrows are commonly found in interdigital spaces (between the fingers and toes) and on the wrists, as these areas offer warm and protected environments for the mites to burrow.

Incorrect choices: a. The face and neck are not typical locations for scabies burrows.

b. Extensor surfaces of the arms and legs are less commonly affected by scabies.

c. While scabies burrows can occur on the chest and back, they are more frequently found in the areas mentioned in the correct choice

Explanation: The primary intervention for treating scabies is the use of topical scabicide medications. These medications kill the scabies mites and their eggs, effectively treating the infestation.
