Typical lesions of scabies skin

• paths of a few millimeters long, especially on the hands and wrists, corresponding to the increase of the mite in skin
• vesicles (small elevations translucent) on the fingers
• scabious nodules, sort of pinkish-red elevations, frequently in the genitals and folds.
• lesions of scabies (small buttons) and scratching, which may resemble eczema, predominantly on the abdomen, lower abdomen, thighs, arms, usually sparing the back and face (except the itch of the child in whom the back, scalp and face may be affected). Scabies of the child and the baby may also have as the only signs the itching and vesicles of the hands and feet.

        The diagnosis of scabies can be particularly difficult: the lesions are very rough, even invisible. Only the concept of itching for a spouse or family and predominantly nocturnal itching can then think about it! It is often practiced treatment of mange "test" in a person with profuse itching to eliminate this diagnosis. The physician can help the dermoscopy to try to see the mite under the skin near a groove.
