Abstract
Cutaneous larva migrans is a parasitic skin infection characterized by progressive linear or serpiginous lesions most commonly seen over the dorsum and plantar aspect of the foot. We report a case of cutaneous larva migrans in a 17 year old male at an unusual site, successfully treated with Ivermectin and Albendazole.
