CASE 1. A 34-year old man, classified WR6, CDC IV C1 C2 D, developed many erythematous papules with S-shaped burrows and multiple excoriations on extremities, abdomen, buttocks, penis, fingers, neck, head and scalp. Diagnosis of scabies was established by extracting mites from the trunk and even from the head and scalp, where mites, if at all are found only exceptionally. CASE 2. A 45-year old man, classified WR5, CDC IV A C2, had a past history of shingles at the left T8/9 dermatome in 1988, treated with idoxuridine locally, systemically by dimepranol-4-acetamidobenzoate and inosine. In February 1991 he showed a painful maculo-papular rash with grouped vesicles beside the discolored scars in the T8/9 dermatome consistent with herpes zoster. He was treated with intravenous acyclovir (30 mg/kg per day) for 8 days. Recurrent zoster may be due to the ineffective treatment in 1988. CASE 3. A 39-year old man, classified WR6, CDC IV C1 C2, was first treated in September 1989 for mollusca contagiosa by curettage and squeezing with blunt forceps, afterwards he refused any further therapeutic approach. In February 1991 he showed about 200 lesions at his face and neck, partly with a size of a hazelnut, successful treatment with cryotherapy by spray freezing was performed.
