I don't know if this will help something as extreme as yours, BUT...
A week or two ago, I was talking with a friend when I spotted a round,
red-spot on his elbow that almost looked like a cigarette burn.
"What's that? Lemme see..."
~pained look~ "Um, I was hoping you wouldn't notice..."
"Looks like ringworm." (I have no idea where I pulled that knowledge from,
but a bit of research proved it DID look like ringworm. Which, by the way,
is a fungal infection -- not a parasite.)
Since he had no insurance, he asked me what he could do. I hit my books,
and all the herbal treatments I found were topical. The easiest was rubbing
fresh garlic on the site. Plantain (the wayside herb, not the bannana),
walnut, and a few other things were also recommended.
His ringworm had started around the hairline and was spreading. It stopped
spreading immediately and was gone in a few days.
