When the fly larvae penetrate and develop in the tissue, swelling, pain, redness and inflammation can occur in the affected areas. In some cases, the movements of the fly larvae are visible under the skin. In advanced cases of myiasis, abscesses or ulcers may occur. The aim of treatment is to completely remove the larva with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue.
