Mouse itching/scratching

My mouse constntly scratches and there are scabs or cuts on his back near his neck. I've been told it is probably parasites. Do I need to get to a vet quickly?

fur mites are fairly common and can cause cosiderable distress to the mouse. They are best treated by the vet and it is also advisable to supplement the vitamin intake in the diet.
