abstract: Scabies is a skin infestation of a mite which is spread by skin-to-skin contact and causes an intense generalized intractable pruritus. This case presentation demonstrates how scabies can be mistaken for other skin conditions, and the importance of proper diagnosis, treatment, and followup.
