It sounds like scabies. Scabies is something you can pick up from bedding, clothing, etc. It's not uncommon for children to get it at daycare. If you look closely, you might see what looks like hard, tiny blisters with a dark, pinhead center. It causes horrible itching which I think is worse at night. When untreated, the scabies like to move to the warmer parts of the body, where there are folds--like between the fingers, in the armpits, etc. The treatment, once you get diagnosed, is very simple. You'll just get a lotion or cream to apply. It's usually gone in a couple of days.

I agree with the others--go to the doctor.  I work in natural medicine but I'd never suggest trying to treat worms herbally.  Herbal remedies take too long, are too unreliable and can be dangerous.  In my opinion, your physician is your best bet.

this sounds like it could be whats called a ring worm , no it is not actually a worm ! its is a type of fungus however that is highly contagiouse ,you sould take your baby to the doctor because this well only grow bigger and if the area is in the scalp your child will require a special shampoo , if the spot is on some other area of the body you can purchase antifungal shaves that well help to heal the area , but it is safest to check with you doctor to first be sure that it is ring worm , and second to know if its safe to use an over the counter med . on your baby .   these are very common among children ! if you child is in day care its very posiable that this is where this could have came from , also you can contract them from your pets , and in rare cases dirt.  i hope i helped you and your little one !

Scabies\n(SKAY-bees)\n\nWhat is scabies?\n\nScabies is an infestation of the skin with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei. Infestation is common, found worldwide, and affects people of all races and social classes. Scabies spreads rapidly under crowded conditions where there is frequent skin-to-skin contact between people, such as in hospitals, institutions, child-care facilities, and nursing homes.\n\nWhat are the signs and symptoms of scabies infestation?\n\n    * Pimple-like irritations, burrows or rash of the skin, especially     the webbing between the fingers; the skin folds on the wrist, elbow, or knee; the penis, the breast, or shoulder blades.\n    * Intense itching, especially at night and over most of the body.\n    * Sores on the body caused by scratching. These sores can sometimes become infected with bacteria.\n\nHow did I get scabies?\n\nBy direct, prolonged, skin-to-skin contact with a person already infested with scabies. Contact must be prolonged (a quick handshake or hug will usually not spread infestation). Infestation is easily spread to sexual partners and household members. Infestation may also occur by sharing clothing, towels, and bedding.\n\nWho is at risk for severe infestation?\n\nPeople with weakened immune systems and the elderly are at risk for a more severe form of scabies, called Norwegian or crusted scabies.\n\nHow long will mites live?\n\nOnce away from the human body, mites do not survive more than 48-72 hours. When living on a person, an adult female mite can live up to a month.\n\nDid my pet spread scabies to me?\n\nNo. Pets become infested with a different kind of scabies mite. If your pet is infested with scabies, (also called mange) and they have close contact with you, the mite can get under your skin and cause itching and skin irritation. However, the mite dies in a couple of days and does not reproduce. The mites may cause you to itch for several days, but you do not need to be treated with special medication to kill the mites. Until your pet is successfully treated, mites can continue to burrow into your skin and cause you to have symptoms.\n\nHow soon after infestation will symptoms begin?\n\nFor a person who has never been infested with scabies, symptoms may take 4-6 weeks to begin. For a person who has had scabies, symptoms appear within several days. You do not become immune to an infestation.\n\nHow is scabies infestation diagnosed?\n\nDiagnosis is most commonly made by looking at the burrows or rash. A skin scraping may be taken to look for mites, eggs, or mite fecal matter to confirm the diagnosis. If a skin scraping or biopsy is taken and returns negative, it is possible that you may still be infested. Typically, there are fewer than 10 mites on the entire body of an infested person; this makes it easy for an infestation to be missed.\n\nCan scabies be treated?\n\nYes. Several lotions are available to treat scabies. Always follow the directions provided by your physician or the directions on the package insert. Apply lotion to a clean body from the neck down to the toes and left overnight (8 hours). After 8 hours, take a bath or shower to wash off the lotion. Put on clean clothes. All clothes, bedding, and towels used by the infested person 2 days before treatment should be washed in hot water; dry in a hot dryer. A second treatment of the body with the same lotion may be necessary 7-10 days later. Pregnant women and children are often treated with milder scabies medications.\n\nWho should be treated for scabies?\n\nAnyone who is diagnosed with scabies, as well as his or her sexual partners and persons who have close, prolonged contact to the infested person should also be treated. If your health care provider has instructed family members to be treated, everyone should receive treatment at the same time to prevent reinfestation.\n\nHow soon after treatment will I feel better?\n\nItching may continue for 2-3 weeks, and does not mean that you are still infested.

Scabies are insects that burrow under the skin of humans, and YES, they do itch! Often you will see track marks or red lines showing the path the insect has traveled.  If you were treated for scabies and it recurs, the bugs must be present somewhere in your environment (most likely your home, unless you know of people you work or attend school with getting them).  You can try bombing your home and cleaning all linen with bleach, but your best bet is to have your home treated by professional pest removers.

Scabies live in the folds of skin, like between your fingers, the folds of your elbows, etc.  If you're really fat and have folds of skin in your neck, then yes, they could live there.

I don't know how long you can have them before you notice them, but certainly not long aftre they hatch because they itch like hell. Also, it is possible to get them from infected places, but not likely.  I would not believe that he didn't cheat. Especially if he acts like nothing happened.\n\nThe crab louse can live in almost any form of human hair, but is found most commonly in pubic hair, leading to its other common name of pubic louse. Its legs are adapted to climbing along relatively widely spaced hairs, and so can be found in eyelashes, pubic hair, beards, moustaches, and even armpit hairs. The individual louse can survive for ~24 hours apart from its necessary human host, so that crab lice can be passed on in sleeping bags and bedding. The female may lay up to 40 eggs at a time, resulting in a fluctuating but growing population. The louse feeds on blood and can leave irritating spots on the skin, sometimes mistaken for pimples, a condition called Pediculosis pubis.\n\nPubic lice have legs that are spaced further apart than head lice, this is an adaptation that enables them to move around more easily in their habitat.\n\nThe female louse glues her eggs, called "nits", which look like tiny white beads, to hair shafts. Lice bite through the skin to suck blood, and the bite causes itching. Bites can become secondarily infected; scratching may break the skin and help cause secondary infection. The most common symptom of crab lice is itching of genital area.\n\nPubic lice are most commonly spread by sexual contact and are considered a sexually transmitted disease, but can also be spread by sharing clothes or bedding. Contrary to popular belief, pubic lice can also be spread by sitting on a toilet seat.

parasite (like intestinal worms or mosquito).

earthworms, which generally live in the soil are unable to properly respire when the soil becomes too concentrated with water.  since water has 1/10 the amount of oxygen that air has, the worms must come to the surface, which in your case, is the concrete parking lot.  they are able to locomote by peristalsis (muscle movements that run around their bodies and well as longitudinally)

Pinworms (also called Enterobiasis) are a noninvasive infestation of the intestinal tract by Enterobius vermicularis, a nematode worm.\n\nIt is common in the US (30,000 infections/yr) with most occuring in school-aged children.  Clusters can occur in families or among the institutionalized.  \n\nMost infested persons have no symptoms, and the worms cause few long-term problems.  Anal itching is the most common reported symptom (occasionally scratching can lead to excoriation in the area). Patients may also rarely have insomnia, irritability, anorexia, and weight loss.  \n\nHumans are the only host for this worm. Infestation is by fecal-oral route; ingested eggs hatch in the stomach and the larvae migrate to the colon where they mature.  Female worms migrate to the peri-anal skin at night, lay their eggs there, and die. The eggs cause itching; scratching causes egg deposition under fingernails, from where they can cause further contamination.\n\nThe medications typically used are Mebendazole and Pyrantel Pamoate.  Mebendazole is pregnancy category C (meaning that harmful effects are not fully known) and is CONTRAINDICATED in the first trimester of pregnancy.  Pyrantel Pamoate is probably safe in pregnancy, but you should seek the advice of your obstetrician before taking it.

It sounds like you have a severe case of hookworm. Suggest this or tape worm to your doctor and tell them, don't ask, to be treated for this.

"Random Non-sensical Stuff"\n\nYes, this is what I need! I need a category where I can ask if it snows in Honduras will the spotted meal worm be able to approach puberty in time. \n\nOr......these three which will now and forever remain near and dear to my heart:\n\nIf you were a freshly harvested eggplant would you feel guilty that most of your nutrition was erased by the fact you were breaded and deep fried and turned into eggplant parm?\n\nDo erasers silently scream when you traumatically scrape their head across the paper leaving behind tiny bits of their scalps?\n\nIf you were born with more than the normal number of toes would you hide your malady in shame or would you try to exploit it on the sideshow circuit?\n\n\n\nI shall now campaign for "Random Non-sensical Stuff!"

there are a lot of creatures living in or on the human body, some are useful (helping the digestion) some are harmful (causing diseases) or other annoying ones: itchy mites, ticks, worms, fungi, lice, parasites, bacterias, fleas and others.

I do not think it is ring worm because that does itch.  There are several other dermatological conditions that cause what you have described.  The best bet is to see a physician ( a dermatologist would be best) to properly diagnose the problem.  Good Luck!
