Abstract
Mrs. Aaron is a 56 year-old African-American woman, who presented with a chief complaint of a constant sensation of being covered by “cobwebs” on her face for the past 8 months. She did not seen any spiders or insects nearby when this sensation occurred, and appeared unconcerned about the possibility of an infestation. Upon examination, she showed no primary skin lesions but was observed to wipe her face with her hand frequently as if to get rid of these cobwebs. She related that due to the intensity of the cobweb sensation, she had not been able to focus on any task – which had hindered her from gaining employment since the start of her disease.
