ASSESSMENT Primary Diagnosis: B86 Scabies It is an infestation of the skin by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei that results in an intensely pruritic eruption with a characteristic distribution pattern. The incidence of scabies undergoes cyclical fluctuations on a worldwide basis, although all parts of the globe are not necessarily in the same phase of the cycle at the same time. Transmission of scabies is usually from person to person by direct contact. In adults, areas most likely to yield mites are between the fingers, sides of hands, wrists, elbows, axillae, groin, breasts, and feet. Scabies usually presents with severe itching, often worse at night, and nondescript erythematous papules. Differential Diagnosis: Atopic Dermatitis: is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that appears to involve a genetic defect in the proteins supporting the epidermal barrier.  Exacerbating factors in atopic dermatitis that disrupt an abnormal epidermal barrier include excessive bathing, low humidity environments, emotional stress, xerosis or dry skin, overheating of skin, and exposure to solvents and detergents. Impetigo: is a contagious superficial bacterial infection observed most frequently in children. It may be classified as primary impetigo direct bacterial invasion of previously normal skin or secondary impetigo infection at sites of minor skin trauma such as abrasions, minor trauma, and insect bites, or underlying conditions such as eczema. Variants of impetigo include non-bullous impetigo, bullous impetigo, and ecthyma. Folliculitis: Multiple follicular-based erythematous papules or pustules on chest and back. No burrows seen on physical exam. Other Diagnosis Essential Hypertension (Controlled) I10 Overweight E66.3 PLAN Therapeutic Permethrin 5\% cream, massage thoroughly into the skin from the neck to the soles of the feet x 1 time, cream should be removed by washing after 8 to 14 hours.

Treatment for those who were sexual and household contacts within the preceding 1 month is recommended at the same time that the patient is treated to prevent re-infestation. 2. Immediately following any treatment, all bedding and clothing should be washed in water that is 140°F or higher (≥60°C) and dried the day after the first treatment to decrease the chance of re-infestation. 3. Clothing or objects that cannot be washed should be placed in a sealed bag for a week. No Test ordered/No needed to this diagnosis Follow-ups/Referrals: Follow-up in 3 weeks. Also, the patient was instrumented to return if the symptoms get worse. Bibliographic References: Chosidow O. Clinical practices. Scabies.
