Abstract:
Atypical manifestations of scabies have been reported, including impetigo, folliculitis, tinea, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, dermatitis herpetiformis, bullous pemphigoid and Darier's disease. Although vesicles are commonly found in children, they are extremely uncommon in adults. We report a case of bullous scabies in 57-year-old male who developed a bullous pemphigoid-like eruption associated with scabies. Direct immunofluorescence test showed linear deposition of IgM and C3 at the dermoepidermal junction. Treatment with topical crotamiton was successful for up to 12 month of follow-up.
