Thanks for the query. Guinea worm has been eradicated from India. I don't think you have this disease, so meet a physician for getting a proper diagnosis. Treatment is available and is simple. The first step is to meet a physician and understand the problem so that proper treatment can then be started. Discuss the situation and hope it will be cleared in few days. Don't delay the appointment. Hope it helps you
