What is the name of insects that are so small and are on the skin and make the skin itch?

Answer by  waytoobizee (28)

There are several types of insect or pests that can get on your skin and make it itch. Mites, lice, scabies, ticks, fleas all come to mind. They are all very small and can cause rashes and intense itching. If you feel you are infected by something it would be best to contact your doctor for appropriate treatment.

It sounds like you're describing scabies. Scabies is a skin condition that causes redness, rash, and itching, and is highly contagious. It's caused by a mite called Sarcoptes scabiei and can be passed by simple skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.

Well, I can think of four: fleas, mites, bed bugs, and chiggers. Chiggers burrow in the skin, so they're tougher to get rid of, but bed bugs are the worst.
