This article analyzes a clinical case of vesicular toxicodermia caused by infection with the scabies mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The focus is on a female patient who, according to her medical history, noticed the development of intense itching and rashes on her hands and feet after using an antiseptic. Initial treatment provided no relief, and further investigations confirmed the presence of the scabies mite. The article emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating such clinical cases, including careful monitoring for allergic reactions to antiseptics and other potential irritants. Special attention is given to the necessity of etiological therapy directly targeting the scabies pathogen, as well as symptomatic treatment to alleviate itching and inflammatory manifestations.
