Alternatively, lidocaine can be injected forcibly into the base of the lesion in an attempt to create enough fluid pressure to extrude the larvae out of the punctum.The larva should not be forcibly removed through the central punctum because its tapered shape with rows of spines and hooks prevents simple extrusion.Furthermore, care should be taken to avoid lacerating the larva because retained larval parts may precipitate foreign body reaction.

Boil-like lesions on a patient with botfly myiasis; the central punctum is apparent. Human myiasis results from parasitic tissue infestation by maggots.

Oral myiasis is still “rare” and “unique” owing to the fact that oral cavity rarely provides the necessary habitat for a larval lifecycle.

Application of chloroform, chloroform in light vegetable oil, or ether, with removal of the larvae under local anesthesia, has been advocated for wound myiasis.Surgical removal is not required unless requested by the patient, as the larvae are naturally sloughed within 5-7 weeks.Depending on the location of the larval infestation, dermatologists (wound and furuncular myiasis), ophthalmologists (ophthalmomyiasis), or otorhinolaryngologists (oral, facial, nasal myiasis) may need to be consulted.Care must be taken to extract the larva whole, otherwise a considerable foreign body reaction may ensue.
