Infantile acropustulosis is a rare entity in Pediatrics. It usually appears in children under 2 years of age and it is characterized by pruritic erythematous papules that turn into vesicles or pustules; mainly in acral areas (back of the hands and feet). Acropustulosis usually resolves spontaneously and requires only symptomatic treatment. We present the case of a six-month-old boy diagnosed with childhood acropustulosis with spontaneous resolution.

Scabies is a frequently infestation of the skin characterized by the appearance of a pruritic exanthema. The diagnosis is generally made from the history and the distribution of lesions. When we are in the presence of a child with a pruritic exanthema it is vital to suspect the possibility of scabies when establishing a correct differential diagnosis. We would like to present a case with images of an infant with atypical presentation of this ectoparasitoses.
