Abstract:
A case of crotamiton resistant scabies is described in a 21-year-old male patient The scrapings using mineral oil from lesions on the wrist and finger webs showed mites and eggs, typical of scabies. Ten percent crotamitn cream was applied 10 times in one month without any effect. We could not find any source of reinfection in the patient. After above treatment the scrapings still showed mites. and eggs. Retreatment with 1% gamma benzene hexachloride cream was effective in clearing of the skin rashes and itching sensation.
