In daily clinical practice, itchy pathologies are commonly encountered. However, their anamnesis and clinical manifestations are not always clear. In these cases, using non-invasive diagnostic tools can facilitate prompt diagnosis. Among these pathologies, scabies is typically diagnosed by direct observation of mites using an optical microscope. As this investigation is not always feasible, recent years have seen a rise in the use of non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis of scabies.
