What should I do if I develop a skin rash after a Bali trip and suspect parasites?

TL;DR
If you develop a rash after Bali and suspect parasites, the practical advice is to start with basic lab work and a parasite test panel in your home country, then see a general physician. The results help determine whether you need an infectious disease doctor, allergist, or another specialist.

A practical first step is not to search for a specialist immediately, but to start with a general physician and standard lab tests. This helps determine whether the problem is more likely infection-related, allergic, or another post-travel reaction.

If parasites are the main concern, the advice is to do a broader parasite testing panel in Russia. The point is that there is usually no single universal test, so travelers may need a more complete list of available screenings.

According to the discussion, a skin reaction after Bali does not automatically mean parasites: possible causes mentioned included dust mites, stress, and climate change. Depending on the first test results, the right specialist may be an allergist or even a neurologist rather than an infectious disease doctor.
