Hi,
You can take oral antihelminthics like Albendazole or Praziquantel. Clean the area with diluted turpentine. Generally, it will settle in a couple of weeks and in case of persistent symptoms, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
