Author and Disclosure Information
Several diseases may be confused with scabies. Vesicular and bullous eruptions have been reported in patients with several bullous conditions. Under such circumstances, scabies can trigger or exacerbate a subjacent autoimmune condition. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who developed a vesicular eruption in the course of a scabies outbreak, and we discuss the differential diagnosis of this atypical presentation.
