Diagnosis and treatment are carried out with a holistic and comprehensive family medicine approach. Primary data were obtained through history taking, physical examination and home visits, and secondary data from the patient's medical records. Patient's case a 51-year-old has suffered from scabies (ICD 10 - B86) that has recurred three months ago, but the patient still has a functional degree of 1 in carrying out daily activities. Internal factors in patients are poor personal hygiene, towels and bed linen do not wash regularly even though it has been used other than by family members, as well as curative treatment patterns. External factors in patients are low family income (ICD10-Z59.6), lack of home lighting and ventilation, densely populated home environments, lack of cleanliness in the home environment, and low patient and family knowledge about scabies.
