Med tx.: Threadworm is a parasitic infection of the intestines by roundworms (helminth) that can sometimes effect the skin as well. If you believe you have an infection please see either your physician or an infectious disease doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment. Medications might include Ivermectin , Mintezol or albendazole.
