This is the third episode, and in both previous episodes, the physicians thought the child had scabies. The child was treated with permethrin both times, and within 2 to 3 weeks the skin cleared. No other family members have had lesions or symptoms. Figures 116-1, 116-2, 116-3 demonstrate a typical case of infantile acropustulosis that is often misdiagnosed as scabies. Although the condition can be recurrent, it is ultimately self-limited and will resolve.
