For several weeks, Laura Gómez, a 32-year-old young mother, began experiencing intense itching. At first, she thought it was a simple allergy. She changed her soap, avoided certain foods, and even visited a dermatologist,
who prescribed creams and antihistamines. Nothing worked. The itching intensified every day, affecting her sleep, mood, and daily routine.
“It was desperate,” Laura says. “I felt like something was moving inside me, I scratched myself until I bled, and nothing could relieve me. But I never imagined what was coming.”
