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.
