Infectious disease
A middle-aged White woman presented with a 3-week history of intensely pruritic, painful perianal and vulval dermatitis, which developed on a Caribbean holiday. The eruption progressed in extent and severity despite multiple oral and topical treatments. We invite readers to test their knowledge of parasitic dermatoses and provide an overview of diagnostic differentials.
