Abstract

Crusted scabies is a rare morphological variant of scabies characterized by crusted, hyperkeratotic skin lesions with minimum itching. It is usually found in neglected patients and people with poor living status. Delayed and misleading diagnosis is common factor of sufferings for patients. We report a 9 years old girl presented with crusted scabies for 2 years. We confirmed the case with dermoscopic and microscopic findings.
