Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Scabies infestation can manifest with unusual clinical presentations.
  • Bullous eruptions are not a typical sign of scabies.

Observation:

  • A 73-year-old male patient presented with scabies.
  • The patient developed bullae clinically resembling bullous pemphigoid.
  • The condition recurred and persisted despite systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Findings:

  • Topical permethrin treatment was initiated for the patient.
  • The treatment resulted in successful management of scabies for up to 12 months.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering scabies in the differential diagnosis of bullous dermatoses.
  • Topical permethrin can be an effective treatment for recalcitrant or atypical scabies presentations.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of scabies, even with unusual symptoms.
