The infection causes a red, intensely pruritic (itchy) eruption, and may look like twirling lesions. The itching can become very painful and if scratched may allow a secondary bacterial infection to develop.<unk>  usually heals spontaneously over weeks to months and has been known to last as long as one year. However, the severity of the symptoms usually causes those infected to seek medical treatment before spontaneous resolution occurs. Following proper treatment, migration of the<unk> e within the skin is halted and relief of the associated itching can occur in less than 48 hours (reported for thiabendazole). This is separate from the similar<unk><unk>  currens which is caused by Strongyloides.<unk>  currens is also a cause of migratory pruritic eruptions but is marked by 1) migratory speed on the order of inches per hour 2) perianal involvement due to autoinfection from stool and 3) a wide band of urticaria.
