Not the usual site: Scabies can be anywhere on skin they like going into skin folds (waistline, axilla, breasts, between fingers, feet, wrists, knees, elbows, buttocks & genitalia. They aren't usually found on the face/scalp of adults. It would be more common to see scabies in scalp hair in children.
