What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Parasitic Infection?

default
Posted on Tue, 17 Nov 2015
Question: I am looking for someone who has experience dealing with parasitic infections.
There is something seriously killing me. I am covered in what appears to be scars from some type of parasite. Mebendazole did not cure this.. What is it? I have a horrible rash on my face that itches and my body aches. I am so swollen and feel horrible. Whatever this is, it leaves scratches on my skin that later scar... HELP

Brief Answer:
some more details needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi Dawnclark,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The photos you have posted does not resemble any parasite. There may be surreptitious parasite troubling you or it may be altogether a different disease.
Please let me know how did it start, how long it has been there.
Send a snap of rash, edema or face for thorough understanding.
If any blood investigations have been done please send them to me, otherwise get CBC, ESR, LFT, Creatine and stool test for ova and cyst.
I hope I will be able to sort out your problem.
Take care.
