Medical Practitioners, Biologists, Your Help Is Greatly Needed Here by Effulgent(op): 9:27pm On May 01, 2019
check the pictures below
It all started on Sunday when an aunt of mine started having this itching feeling In her laps and she saw that on her lap.
So this night,when the itching became too much, we decided to give some pressing and squeezing hoping some whitish fluid comes out(we thought it was boil).
Lo and behold, what came out was something a parasite (looked like maggot, whitish in color) still kicking and bouncing. I forgot to get it on camera before it was removed and killed


my question now is
what could have caused this and
what can we do at this stage cos I'm confused and
could there be more inside ?
don't mind my grammar o

the pictures won't upload o..
I know from my explanation, you already get it

The picture would have done justice to your case but from the little you said in your post, I think she may
have Cutenous larvae migrans, a worm infestation gotten from sand where pets like dogs and cats defecate.

Looks infected.

She should see a doctor for debridement and treatment where necessary but for now analgesic should do.

This is not telemedicine.
