title: [A woman with an itchy skin rash on her buttock].
abstract: A 24-year-old pregnant woman presented with a severely itchy skin rash on her left buttock after a journey to Thailand. The erythematous lesion appeared as 'cutaneous larva migrans', a skin disease in humans, caused by the larvae of various nematode parasites of the hookworm family (Ancylostomatidae). Due to her pregnancy, the patient was treated with local application of liquid nitrogen instead of oral anthelmintic therapy.
