Nodular scabies in infants: dermoscopic examination may avoid a diagnostic pitfall

Abstract

infantile scabies sometimes manifests with atypical clinical presentation, leading to misdiagnosis. Monomorphic primary lesions or different coexisting lesions may be present. Specific pediatric localizations are scalp and face¹, but in infants the most common are palms, soles and axillae. Irritability and poor feeding are more often referred by parents than itching.
