Abstract

The main manifestation of scabies infection is intense itching. This itch is experienced by nearly every individual affected by the infestation and may persist even after successful treatment of scabies. In certain cases, this post-scabies itch can persist for several weeks to months. In rare cases, it can even progress into a delusional parasitosis related to scabies. This article highlights three cases and explores the underlying causes of itch as well as treatment strategies.
