Cutaneous Larva Migrans...

So what is this all about?? For more information, feel free to browse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_larva_migrans

BUT, please assure that you are not in the mood to start a meal...coz it's quite disgusting, hehe! I have this skin problem since (didn't really know when)...It started off with a red dot like a mosquito bite...if you leave it for few days, it tends to get swollen and turned redish like a normal pimple. If you leave it for a few days more, you'll notice that the pimple evolved to a small watery thingy that caused a little pain and itch. Don't scratch it else it'll cause a secondary bacterial infection to develop.

Attached 2 photos of what is growing on my left hand: (Don't worry, it's not contagious!)

(When you see it from far...)


(When you look closer, it grows like larva...)
