Article Abstract

A 24-year-old male patient was seen with generalized itch and papules located at the hands. Staining of a papule with a purple medical skin marker, followed by wiping of the ink with an alcohol-gauze revealed an ink-filled burrow. These findings are consistent with a positive burrow ink test, and a clinical diagnosis of scabies was made.
