Symptom
The entry of eggs into the skin usually accompanied with itching and heat. Will initially be formed papule, followed by a distinctive form, ie, linear-shaped lesions, or winding, creating a 2-3 mm diameter, and reddish. Furthermore, this red papule will spread like a thread winding, creating and forming the tunnel, reaching a length of several centimeters. The itching is usually more severe at night. The infection usually affects the feet, hands, anus, buttocks and thighs.

Cause
The cause is a hookworm that normally live in the body of a cat or dog. Worm eggs into the human body through skin contact with eggs in dog poop or cat.
Prevention
Using the shoes in endemic areas (areas where the incidence of high hookworm infection) may prevent the penetration of eggs through the legs.
