Very Bad Case of Scabies on the Hands.
This is by far one of the worst case of scabies I've ever seen on a pair of human hands. So if anyone has a topper, I'm very interested.  · |

Re: Very Bad Case of Scabies on the Hands.
That is scabies? I've seen scabies but it was nothing like that. Granted you did say the WORST case ever but I am still surprised it ends up looking like that. Scabies are spider like mites that burrow under the skin, causing intense itching. They love burrowing between the fingers. I remember my mum telling me that years ago and the thoughts of spiders under my skin gave me the eebie jeebies. |

Re: Very Bad Case of Scabies on the Hands.
I found the same photo on Wikipedia, with the following comments added: "People with compromised immune systems, such as people with HIV or cancer or transplant patients on immunosuppressive drugs, may be susceptible to Crusted (Norwegian) scabies. In this case the scabies go unregulated by cytotoxic T cells and spread over the whole body, except the face. These cases require additional treatment options for resolution. Ivermectin is a single oral treatment of choice in these patients combined with any other topical treatment." |
