Article Synopsis
- - Scabies is a common skin condition caused by a mite, leading to very itchy bumps, typically found in specific areas like hands, groin, and armpits, but can occasionally spread widely and worsen into severe forms like crusted scabies.
- - A case study of a 69-year-old man reveals that he developed crusted scabies alongside other health issues, including immune thrombocytopenic purpura and muscle weakness, after self-medicating with corticosteroids.
- - Despite effective treatment for scabies, the patient tragically died from bacterial sepsis, highlighting the risk of misdiagnosis and complications that can arise from using immunosuppressive medications to treat mistaken diagnoses.
