Cutaneous Larva Migrans

A serpiginous eruption is a pattern of skin lesion that advances tracing wavy or grooved lines, and it is usually associated with the migration of certain parasites beneath the skin surface.

Common symptoms: Intense itching and a reddened, raised track that gradually moves along, frequently on the feet, legs, or hands.

Common causes: It is often related to skin contact with contaminated soil or sand, where the larvae that cause the track are found.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the one to examine this type of moving skin lesion. If you see a track that changes location and itches, the sensible thing is to show it to a professional for evaluation.
