Core Tip

Core Tip: In this study, we have described an elderly patient with Norwegian scabies for over 3 years. The patient developed multiple erythema, papules, and scales throughout the body. After repeated irregular treatments, his condition worsened for 2 months, and the rash advanced to diffuse infiltrating dark erythema with keratinized papules, pustules, and thick scales.
