Özet
Crusted scabies is a severe, highly contagious variant of scabies that predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals. Although it usually involves extensive areas of the body, isolated scalp involvement in adults is exceedingly rare. This report describes a case of crusted scabies confined to the scalp in a 63-year-old male liver transplant recipient receiving everolimus therapy. The case emphasizes the importance of considering atypical presentations of scabies in immunosuppressed patients and highlights the diagnostic value of dermoscopy in challenging clinical scenarios.
