hello,
you might be suffering from hook worm infection.
symptoms are-
The first symptoms are itchy patches on the skin with pimples and blisters and itching at the site of entry.
Migration of the Ascaris larvae through the body can create temporary severe tissue irritation and allergic reactions such as asthma.
Thereafter symptoms such as dizziness, anorexia, weakness, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea, anaemia and nutritional disorders.
The disorder is caused by infestation with the roundworms
Parasite-killing medications such as albendazole, mebendazole, or pyrantel pamoate are usually prescribed.
visit dermatologists for it
