The dangers of naked sunbathing: Cutaneous larva migrans on the penis / S. Veraldi, I.F. Aromolo, G. Nazzaro. - In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF STD & AIDS. - ISSN 0956-4624. - 36:8(2025 Jul), pp. 1-2. [10.1177/09564624251336993]
Abstract:
Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) of genitals has been very rarely reported in the literature. We describe a case of CLM of the penis in a 38-year-old Caucasian patient who sunbathed naked whilst in Phuket island (Thailand). The patient was successfully treated with 1% ivermectin cream (2 applications/day for 2 weeks), under occlusive dressing.
