Hello, Welcome to the ChatDoctorBrief. It is parasitic infection (worm infestation)Detailed answer... As it is more likely because of worm infestation, for that you may need one of two deforming medications.albendazole or praziquantel. Though it is safe in pregnancy, but studies shows that deforming during pregnancy can cause eczema in babies. My opinion would be discussed first with your gynecologist before using these medicines for deforming. Chat Doctor.
