Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the history and description of lesions, it could be herpes infection( viral infection) or cellulitis(bacterial infection). A parasitic infestation seems unlikely. i wont be able to clarify further unless I see the lesions. You may use ask a specialist feature of this website to post pics of the lesions and have a detailed discussion.
Take care
