Hi everyone, I’m posting on behalf of a friend who’s been experiencing a skin issue.

From time to time, her skin starts to swell and becomes very itchy. When she scratches the area, it gets worse l, the swelling increases, and the irritation spreads. She describes the sensation as feeling like “worms” under the skin. There are no visible worms, but that’s how she describes the feeling. All the recommended drugs so far isn't working.

Has anyone experienced something similar or know what this could be? Any suggestions on what might be causing it or what drugs she could get

Thanks in advance!

This could be allergy or some form of Psoriasis....hmmm

Hypersensitivity to insect bites or other external factors, leading to eczematous/reddish wheals/hives/lesions.


A handy corticosteroid cream should resolve this within an hour.

In the village, my late grandmother would simply apply fresh palm oil mixed with siam weed on it... Worked like magic, and even made the skin look better than before.

It looks like what Yoruba do call *Lapalapa*

Try to meet with those women selling local things and show them, dem go give you soap..

This is cause of allergy , just try and observe wella

Go for your hiv status first....then cum bk to nairand for solution.

Your environment says it's insects. They are mostly very tiny.

That's bed bugs.

Tell her to take her foam outside and burn it, save money and buy another one.

It could be methicillin resistant staph infection. It's an extremely stubborn infection that gets worse especially if one self medicates with antibiotics that are not strong enough. She must not use any more antibiotics, the infection will get more resistant to the infection

Yes ,it happened to me in 2022, scratch and expand,very irritating!
It also happened to my friend that stays with me(girl) though, for those that will ask(hiv- we are)
It can be insect or water or even what my people call ogboro that they use to scare people away from lands ,fruits etc
I took piriton and it disappeared and reappear again,come use one local plant called ogbete in ibo(shewing) and don't know when it disappeared

Na wahh ohh, go just share problem give everybody.

This is not a problem at all, in some part of Nigeria, it comes with Puberty mostly in guys.
Just apply red oil all over the body for about 1-2 hrs and you’ll be fine.

U need abitouse shaker plus psalm and holy coast firerrrreeeeeeeeeeeee

Judging from the picture.
If this is what is called"egbesi" in yoruba, the Best cure I know is Piriton tablets. It will disappear within few minutes or hour

It's what Yorubas will call Ẹ́gbẹ̀si, ewe asefẹ́yẹ̀jẹ̀ will do wonders if you can visit the tewetegbo peeps

Looks like some type of skin reaction my bro had one time after cutting the grass behind his apartment. He used anti histamine and it all went away the following day.

. This is Igberesi
It is aan allergy as I observe ot

HERE IS THE ANSWER:

You came in skin contact with a poisonous hairy worm or caterpillar.
Go get parcemol or panadol because you are going to get fever for two days.
Nothing serious but you will be okay after a week.
Drink so much water and eat much of protein based food.
Puriton tablet may help you too.
To reduce itching,use ice or cold water on the skin.


Improve your environment.
You live very close to bushy areas.

Allergy or chemical reaction from plants or insects.

This is Hives which is as a result of something that your body is not reacting well to

This is urticaria.

I also experience it.

There is no known cure.

Just identify what she could be allergic to and avoid it.

Anti histamines such as Loratidine,Cetirizine can help reduce the itchiness.

Also can try Tabs Monteluklast.


I didn't know what I was allergic to until I realised it was hibiscus flower coupled with me being asthmatic.

Wish her quick recovery

That's an allergic reaction.

She's coming in contact with something that her system doesn't like.

There's this tiny white tablet that works for it, I've forgotten the name. Will write it when I remember.

Rashes,it is called eela in Yoruba…I was very lucky to get one old woman to sell herbs for me when it was dealing with my son,I buy drugs tire.send pm if you live around Alimosho in Lagos,the woman almost gave me the herbs for free
