The pandemic COVID-19 has compelled telemedicine into an essential healthcare delivery system worldwide. One such case of neonatal scabies was recorded by us through telephone during the absolute lockdown. Jarb (Scabies) is a prevalent disease across the world and a major public health concern in many developing countries, primarily related to poverty and overcrowding. Neonatal scabies may be easily misdiagnosed as it has a distinct clinical pattern, or the clinical manifestations are different from pathognomic lesions as compared to adult age. The paper will discuss how a case was being diagnosed and what measures were taken to manage neonatal scabies via teleconsultation.
