Abstract

A 47-year-old man presented with generalized pruritic lesions that had persisted for 2 years and shown no response to therapy with topical corticosteroids. The identification of numerous mites in the patient's scales led to the diagnosis of crusted scabies. The lesions responded to systemic therapy with Ivermectin (Stromectol) and topical application of Permethrin (InfectoScab). As underlying factors we suspect the immunosuppressive therapy attempts with topical corticosteroids as well as alcohol abuse.
