What Are Bunch Of Black Threadlike Things In The Skin On Stomach Suggestive Of?
I just squeezed out a bunch of black threadlike or hair-like things from the skin on my stomach - are they some kind of parasite? I think I got them all - the black lines are gone and there are just red lines where they were. They were about a dozen of them in a line about 7 long. They ranged in length about of a centimeter to about 1/3 long. One looked like it had wings (?) on both sides. I did not have a microscope to look at them and they were not moving when I got them out. Should I put an antibiotic or alcohol on the area?

Hello,
You may disinfect the area with alcohol.
Taking antiparasitic drugs such metronidazole can help. Also, you may use permethrin and benzyl benzoate cream on the skin for it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
