This is also known as "ground itch".

It is from the itchy patch at the site of entry that the early infection gets its nickname "ground itch".

Ground itch refers to the inflammatory reaction resulting from certain helminthic invasions into the skin.

It can cause "creeping eruption" or "ground itch".

The hosts of these worms are not human and the larvae can only penetrate the upper five layers of the skin, where they give rise to intense, local itching, usually on the foot or lower leg, known as ground itch.

Colloquially called creeping eruption due to its presentation, the disease is also somewhat ambiguously known as "ground itch" or (in some parts of the Southern USA) "sandworms", as the larvae like to live in sandy soil.
