It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Insect Bites, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Scabies.
Scabies is an extremely contagious skin condition caused by tiny mites that causes intense itching in the areas where the mite burrows. As dermatological conditions are similar looking they need to be diagnosed by a dermatologist and if not can be easily misdiagnosed. The rash from scabies can look similar to psorisasis, eczema, contact dermatitis or papular urticaria.
