This study aimed to identify risk factors for treatment failure and analyze lesion distribution patterns in relation to sex, age, and comorbidities in patients with treatment-resistant scabies.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The study included patients with dermatologist-confirmed scabies who had received at least one treatment within the past six months without clinical improvement. Clinical, sociodemographic, and cutaneous findings were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 246 patients were included (130 females, 52.8%; 116 males, 47.2%). Males had significantly higher rates of excoriation (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), pustules (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.047), tunnels (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.046), and genital involvement (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.012). Nodules were more common in individuals under 18 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003), while excoriations predominated in those over 65 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Longer pruritus duration was observed in older adults, rural residents, and patients receiving weekend home visits (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.017, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001, and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.011, respectively), and was associated with increased lesion severity. A threefold increase in abdominal involvement and a 3.33-fold increase in pustules were seen in patients receiving three or more treatments. Higher education (university or above) was linked to a 46% reduced risk of treatment-resistant scabies.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This study identifies key demographic and clinical risk factors associated with treatment failure in scabies and underscores the need for targeted management strategies.
