The purpose of this article is to review the configuration of scabies as the great imitator. The atypical forms of scabies are scabies of cultivated, incognito scabies, nodular scabies, blouse scabies, animal transmitted scabies, bedridden scabies, scabies on AIDS patients, scabies with STD coinfection, scabies on baby and elderly, and crusted scabies.
