Symptoms & Signs
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
The symptoms of creeping eruption include a small blister at the point of penetration. It is usually on an exposed area that has come in contact with the ground, such as the feet, legs, or buttocks. As the parasite migrates, a thread-like red, slightly raised, red line appears on the skin. The rash itches intensely.
