In particular, this concerns cases where the skin rash appeared due to the presence in the body of the worms. After all, it indicates a problem which should be removed as quickly as possible.
The reasons for the phenomenon
For many it remains a mystery why the bot often have skin rashes. In fact, this phenomenon is very simple to explain. The fact that worms live in the gut and hits him mucosa. In the result it can get quite large pieces of undigested food, which causes increase in the level of eosinophils in the blood. That they are performing a protective function, react to stimulus, and this on the human skin rash.
In addition, the situation is compounded by the fact that the body in the presence of the worms begins to produce immunoglobulin E. It can enhance the manifestation of any allergic reactions.
Another cause of a rash in the bot – selection by parasites toxins. The body gets rid of them through the skin, which provokes the formation of pimples, blackheads and other unpleasant phenomena.
In cases where parasites are too much, they can clog the intestines. As a result, the body suffers because of the inability to fully get rid of waste products. This all affects the skin. In addition to the appearance of hives, pimples and other rashes, it becomes flabby and lifeless takes on a yellowish tint.

How to change the rash?
Depending on the stage of development of helminth infections the rash may change your appearance or even disappear for a certain period. There are three main stages of disease:
- 1. Sharp.
- 2. Latent.
- 3. Chronic.
The first stage is accompanied by severe allergic reactions and, as a result, the skin rash, inflamed pimples (papules), urticaria. In addition, you may experience swelling in the face or the whole body. This is due to the fact that in this period the worms actively inhabit the body and parasitize in the intestine, the liver or the lungs.

In addition to the changes on the skin of the patient may begin to disturb cough, headaches, dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, impaired vision. The duration of this phase within two months.
In the latent phase of skin rash may disappear completely. The same applies to all other symptoms. Lasts a period of “calm” from a week to several months.
The last stage of helminth infections – chronic. Worms in adults and children in this period begin active lay large number of eggs. Soon of them appears a lot of new larvae.
The clinical picture of this stage are expressed very vividly. Children and adults may begin to complain of disorders of bowel function (constipation, diarrhea), shortness of breath, hyperthermia. On the skin rash appears active again, and this time it can be of different nature, ranging from almost imperceptible specks to large papillomas. In practice, some dermatologists attended cases in which the papules were larvae of the worms.

Dirofilaria
This medical term is not widespread and is diagnosed rarely. For the disease characterized by loss of the body’s subcutaneous worms-parasites. They can stay under the skin and in internal organs. Each of the cases will be accompanied by its particular symptoms.
With the defeat of the internal organs, the rash may appear only intermittently. In this patient, there are complaints about failures in the gastrointestinal tract and slight hair loss. To determine the real cause of illness is possible only with the help of ultrasound.
With the defeat of the parasites of the epidermis their presence becomes obvious. Appear on the skin pimples that may be painful and scaly. In addition, during the day the rash moved through the body by a few millimeters. This is due to the fact that the worms move inside of the body. While worms can be felt directly through the skin.
