Hello doctor. A few weeks ago on my right hand there was a large rash that looked like a centipede bite but there were no marks at all, a few days later my left eye was itchy and swollen. Right now I have a lump inside my mouth that looks like a mosquito bite. Ask the doctor if I have tapeworms?

Hello, Ms. Her current symptoms are not typical of a tapeworm infection. However, you should go to the hospital to be examined, diagnosed to find the cause and treat. If you still suspect that you have a tapeworm infection, your doctor will order you to do specific tests to confirm for sure.
Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System.
