Can scabies grow on your face?

Yes: Scabies are more likely to involve the face in infants & children than adults but this may be due to behavioral factors rather than difference in tissue. If the mite can gain access to a surface by direct innoculation they are likely to dig in.

Not common form: The common form of scabies spares the face, head and neck. The exceptions are crusted or norwegian scabies that affects institutionalized older and developmentally disabled persons, homeless and immunocompromised patients and scalp scabies that affects infants ande children institutionalized older adults and aids patients. These 2 forms can affect the scalp. Face, neck, hands, feet and even nails.
