  abstract = {{B}ackground {F}uruncular myiasis is likely to be seen by {W}estern dermatologists because of the increasing number of international travelers but remains unfamiliar to most of them, who tend to refer these patients to hospitals. {D}ifferent treatments have been proposed, but many of them are not achievable in outpatient consultation. {M}ethods {W}e reported three typical cases of furuncular myiasis, according to each species involved, and proposed diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for dermatologists in outpatient consultation. {R}esults {O}ne patient, complaining of an inflammatory nodule of the leg with a central punctum, was diagnosed with {D}ermatobia hominis infection, after a forest walk in {F}rench {G}uiana. {O}ne woman returned from {S}enegal with a nodule of the left buttock. {S}he had been infected by a {C}ordylobia anthropophaga larva after drying her underwear under a mango tree. {O}ne woman living in {C}ameroon presented with scalp nodules, pain, fatigue, and facial edema. {S}he had been infected by more than 40 larvae of {C}ordylobia rodhaini after drying her sheets under a mango tree. {M}anual extraction ensured complete healing in the three patients. {W}e used neither doppler ultrasound nor occlusive dressing. {D}iagnosis was immediately made thanks to the typical clinical stories. {C}onclusions {T}he diagnosis of furuncular myiasis requires only clinical skills and basic knowledge of life cycles. {T}he treatment varies slightly depending on the species involved but is achievable in outpatient consultation and does not require occlusive dressing.},
