Abstract

This editorial addresses the rising number of scabies cases seen globally, including within Europe. The authors address scabies treatment failure as a potential contributing factor and the reasons behind this. The authors go on to address the wider social and economic detriments of health in the UK and how these need to be addressed if we are to successfully tackle the rising number of scabies cases.
