Skin Parasites

Skin parasites drink blood or eat skin. They are usually so small that you cannot see them. Some species are burrowed into the skin whereas many simply crawl on it. Some parasites can complete their whole life cycles in humans. But many live outside the body only feeding every once in a while. Skin parasites can live in the skin as an egg, larva, nymph or adult stage.
