Itching and a feeling of worms are common in intestinal worm infections, but sometimes albendazole alone may not fully treat certain types of worms, or the sensation could be due to other skin or nerve issues. See a doctor to identify the cause; they may do a stool test or recommend a different medicine or treatment to relieve your symptoms safely.

It sounds distressing to have persistent itching and the sensation of something inside you despite taking albendazole. Albendazole is an antiparasitic medication used to treat various worm infections, but if symptoms continue after treatment, it may indicate that the infection is not fully cleared or that another cause is responsible.

  • Persistent symptoms after albendazole could mean the need for a different or repeated treatment, or further evaluation to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Itching and the sensation you describe might also be related to skin conditions, allergies, or other infections that require different management.
  • It is important to see a specialist doctor, such as an infectious disease expert or a dermatologist, who can perform appropriate tests and recommend the best next steps.

If you experience worsening symptoms, new signs like fever, rash, or severe discomfort, seek urgent medical attention. Otherwise, please consult a doctor promptly for a thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're experiencing itching and a sensation of a worm inside you, even after taking albendazole.
