The main causes are hookworm larvae originating from dogs and cats, namely Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma caninum. In East Asia, CLM is generally caused by gnatostomas in pig and cat animals An 18-year-old girl came to the skin clinic and sex center at the DR. R.M Djoelham Binjai with complaints of red pimples forming an elongated line that meanders in the skin accompanied by itching, this has been experienced since ± 1 month ago. This skin disorder is also known as creeping eruption, creeping verminous dermatitis, stray larvae, migraine dermatosis, sandworm disease, plumber 's itch, duck hunter' s itch. 3 CLM has a wide distribution, mostly in warm and humid tropical and subtropical climates. One case of CLM has been reported based on clinical findings in the form of very itchy lesions on the surface of the abdomen and upper thighs with tunnel-shaped images of serpiginous papules similar to the skin. Patients were given single dose of albendazole 400 mg for 3 days and oral antihistamines. On the fifth day after therapy, the lesion undergoes spontaneous resolution and symptoms disappear.
