Abstract
A fit, normally intelligent young man developed Norwegian scabies after prolonged treatment with large quantities of clobetasol propionate ointment. The development of this overwhelming infestation from the normal eruption of scabies may be related to the local immunosuppressive effect of this potent topical steroid.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
