Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Ivermectin is a medicine given to treat parasites. This medicine is effective in infections with threadworm, roundworm, pubic lice and other sensitive parasites including a condition called onchocerciasis which might cause bumps under skin.

2. It is important to take ivermectin single dose on empty stomach for proper effect.

3. It will help to discuss your suspected parasitic infection with blue worms in detail and you might send any pictures that you have. Please send complete treatment details and probable diagnosis made as recommended by your doctor.
