Worms in the Face
Posted , 854 users are following.
Hi All, I dont know if anyone has come across this. I have a worm infestation in my face. They travel around under the skin leaving tracks and bursting holes into my skin. they create glass like balls that split the skin open and move around my skin with ease.
I first reported it 3 months ago and the doctors totally ignored me treating me for a secondary infection that was caused by open wounds in my face. They have given me 4 courses of antibiotics treating the wrong infect but totally ignored waht I was telling ithem about the worms.
The worms whatever they are are very sharp and whereever they travel through in my face the skin collapses, leaving it like plastercine and it causes tiny splinters that are as sharp as anything that inbed themselves in the inside and outside of my skin right down to the lowest skin level. My skin is also producing a clear sticky substance which feels like little shards of glass if I touch it. All in all, it really couldnt be much worse except for the fact they have made a hole around my mouth which they can look out of. I am totally sane!
I am in pieces. I've been telling the doctors what it is and they have totally ignored me. Even refusing to refer after an A & E i visited confirmed I needed to be referred as the lesions had been on my face for so long.
I discovered I had private medical care through my company which now thank god means I've seen my first dermatologist. He's referred me to another dermatlogist that apparently knows more about things in the skin who I'm yet to see. Even though he's now put me in the right direction, I'm not convinced he was sure it is worms. I can pull 1/2 inch worms out of my skin bit by bit. They look like thread worms and never come out intact, you pull little bits off of them. It leaves worm shape dents in my face and they feel like little match sticks under the skin. Nobody is taking me seriously as people dont really get worms in the face.
They have totally destroyed me skin and I have bad scaring. I have never had acne and had no scaring. This has all been caused in the last 3 months. I dread to think how many are alive in there now they'v been left so long.
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

All I have at the moment is a slow release antibiotic and fucadin H cream. I told the dermatologist I though it could be Candida because you can get parasites on the skin. I could smell the yeast on myself from so many antibiotics.
The only thing that was anything like what I had on Google was Candida. The Morgalons were very different, the symptoms and how they looked.
I do think the original infection was something laid soemthing in my skin and it progressed to this. I was constantly on 7 or 10 day courses of antibiotics and i've always hated taking them because it destroys your immune system and it wasnt dealing with the cause. I was asking for antibiocs my skin was so bad. Fighting with the worms didnt help and made a terrible mess of my skin. I'd get so angry though because i was scared of them and I'd decide enough was enough and they were coming out. I will give you the name of the antibiocs later, i'll check what they are called.
Do you live in the UK. I wonder if your GP could refer you to the dermatologist I saw. He was the only person that actually listened and didnt dismiss me with a silly theory. I'm supposed to see him again when i finish this course of medicine. He does private and NHS.

I was told by a specialist doctor when he failed to cure me that it was all I'm my head, then a few years later I pulled a botfly large from my nose...
That was the one thing this doc got right..

Antibiotics fight infection and hence reduce inflammation caused by it. Parasites are treated by a drug group called Anthelmintics. This kills the worms, but has to be staged to break the cycle.
Tiny worms can be destroyed by the correct dosage of anthelmintic at correct intervals. Ivermectin is a common veterinary treatment for skin mites (which are superfical) but also people. See the link above.
Some of the tropical infestations suggested here seem unlikely.
Leptospirosis however,
can be transfered from dogs. It should be ruled out as can affect the eyes.
I hope you find the right medicine.

Thanks for the info Sue.

Leptospirosis is treated with antibiotics, severe cases Intravenously. Scabies are treated with Quellada lotion, but I'm not conviced an oinment is going to eradicate a subcutaneous infestation.
A vital point is that worm infestatations are infectious. Care should be taken to protect others from cross-infection. Close physical contact and hygiene are of concern.
I suggest you obtain a small specimen bottle and next time you remove one (or part) of these parasites, collect it as a sample for investigation. Perhaps email photos of skin eruptions to a tropical medicine lab.

I also have not yet beaten them. what I do know is that they are a nematode prob a type of hook or whip worm. confirmed by 11 vets.
I had success with ivermectin. It was quite clear from the masses I excreted I was infested. however I believe I became reinfected. the doc will not write another script for ivermectin yet.
on the nicobate patches for three days n they are exiting my body they do not like it. they are coming out every where including soles of my feet n fingernails.
I wash head to toe in selsun gold twice a day. I smear vaseline over my legs which I keep bandaged I wear long pants even though I live in the tropics. I have learnt to recognise the odour from those infected.
get a magnifying glass, a journal,record everything relevant take photos enlarge them. provide evidence as to why you believe you have parasites. remember pathology dept do not know what they are looking for.
good luck

I am listening please tell me what you have learned and share what you have been dealing with for 25yrs.
I have a question as well
Did you feel crawling around your face going in nostril, and up to eye, and was the itching madding?
Thanks for any information
Have a great Blessed Day

they are difficult to completely eradicate. they can lay dormant for years. pathology labs predominently give a false negative result. doctors prefer to diagnose you as having psychological issues rather than having parasites. modern medicine ivermectin orally n ivermectin lotion. herbal remedies - black walnut, wormwood, coconut meat mashed. other non standard approaches diatamacious earth, magnetism, nicotine. also look at the protective diets of non developed countries. the toxic waste of parasites are carcegenic. check out worms and cancer on the web. start a journal gather evidence photograph refuse to be disempowered by the so called professionals change your diet to a 3rd world protective one oxygenate your blood (exercise).
hope this helps the journey is unfortunately a long one.

Hello Sherrysherry.
I'm new to this thread and site, but NOT new to this "epidemic". I spent this evening reading all the posts from this particular "worms in the face" thread and ONLY decided to "sign up" after reading this post you made 4 months ago. I agree with you 100% that many here are suffering from a fungus as the primary issue, which in turn leads to other secondary problems and infections such as mites, morgellons, worms, ect. I would greatly appreciate any knowledge that you feel you could pass along to a stranger, one who has been silently padling along-side many of other sufferers in isolation and silence looking for any ray of hope. I'm praying you'll be able to pass along some knowledge, and God knows, many need it!
Here's looking for the Blessed Hope and may He not tarry much longer.
Thanks in advance and God Bless.
Colin

Please give me information on how you overcame your issue. I have a number of different parasites from liver fluke, threadworm, etc. Along with these little black bugs under my skin. I can see balls under my skin especially around my throat area. I bought some herbal parasites cleanse and it's working a little. Now I have little balls that look good raisins with goey yellowish stuff inside.. Please help

This is sounding very similar to what I'm dealing with. This thing morphs and is so fast and the remedies only seem to work for a few days. Like they build a defense. Honestly. I've come to the conclusion that this thing is "Morgellons" for lack of anything to call it. From research I've done, it seems to be very prevalent in Canada and is linked to Borelia bacteria and Lymes disease. I have seen parents from the 50's that deals with bio warefare. I never thought I'd say it- but this is the most bizarre and unbelievable thing I've ever seen. I can't even put it into words

I've seen so many unbelievable things that I couldn't list them. It seems like it's electrical. Magnetic. It hurts. Fruit flies disappear in mid air. All sorts of things. My car doesn't work properly, my electricity flickers when I am probing my face. The list is endless. And so severely and depressingly isolating. It's a scary time we live in

And yes. Mold was when it started manifesting for me. It closes itself to CO-infections. I also had an overgrowth of Candida. They can't test for this. Because technically it does not exist. So frustrating

I strongly recommend you to google colloidal silver and start taking it. It will eat rid of any other infections in your body. I have started to think this is an auto immune type thing that is not organic in nature.

It’s called a dermatoscope. It just showed a magnified image on a screen as it goes over your skin. Can you send me pics? Yes to all of your questions except I originally thought it was démodex mite because of the individual localized movement I felt. I wanted it to be anything but tapeworm. Anti fungal cream it’s adverse to but doesn’t kill it. As It dies and released I can see where it’s track is/was and I’m in disbelief every time I shower at the amount of thick debris that is released. I am in the shower at least an hour a day and is down from the 3 hours I spent prior. It’s exhausting. Sometimes it’s at thick as pus (creamy in color as well) and other times it feels like scabs are coming out. The pressure on my temples gives me the worst headache that I get sick to my stomach. The water against my scalp provides relief and the swelling has gone down. If I listed every sign and symptom I’ve had I’d be here a solid 2 hours. I am sure I sound insane with my descriptions but I just cannot wrap my mind around a doctor telling me what I’m experiencing is impossible and then refusing to witness or grant me a grand rounds. Consequently my psychiatrist believes me and wrote an infectious disease physician a letter requesting she take me seriously. In the nicest way I can say she was the most incompetent, unprofessional, condescending of all of them. She said I’m allergic to sea air?? I told her I’m from Santa Barbara (now I live in Monterey county)- she completely ignored me and wrote “definite delusional parasitosis” in my chart.

Thank you so much for your post. Your words are full of hope, strength and inspiration. I commend you for battling this for so many years. Quite remarkable! Your strength and perseverance are quite admirable to say the least.
I have this as well, and it's pretty severe. Its in my eyes, face, neck, hair, & various other areas of my body. I can barely open my eyes, the swelling is that severe. My face is extremely distorted as a result. I feel like everyday the symptoms get worse, more severe, and I get weaker and more sick.
Regretfully, I no longer feel like I'm making progress, in spite of consistent daily pursuits in this battle. It was up and down for a while. I'd experience minor improvements here and there, and enough hope to keep up the fight. However the past few months there have been very few ups. Feels more like a downward spiral. I am a strong person by nature. Unfortunately this has been the biggest battle of my life both emotionally and physically. I've done a lot of searching and researching trying to find answers & successful treatment strategies. I have had some improvements holistically as well as medically, even if only temporarily. Unfortunately, it's if these things have built up a resistance to treatments, various applications etc. I just don't know what to do any more, and feel and fear each day could be my last. Each day seems worse than the last both emotionally and physically, no matter how positive and strong I try to be. Unfortunately, our medical/ healthcare system is of very little help in this regard, as I'm sure you're very well aware of.
Any insight, feedback, or things you're comfortable sharing that has worked for you, would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance! Stay safe, stay strong, stay well!

I've been suffering from this since August 2022. My doctor referred me to a dermatologist and the dermatologist referred me to see a psychiatrist. That had completely broken me down after 3 visits to the emergency room and 1 hospital stay from developing ocular preseptic cellulitis in my left eye. It was so bad from the parasites going into the tissue of both of my eye lids and behind my eyeball that my eye was bulging from its socket. I literally could see them crawl over my eyeball, which scratched the lenses, and seen them move underneath my skin on my face, neck, abdomen, legs. Truly is the stuff of nightmares. I am at a loss for treating this. I've been prescribed antiparasitc cream and ivermectin to no avail. So I am treating it with essential oils and herbs
This is only the beginning for me and any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated. Has this effected your joints and given you any type of arthritis symptoms? Any numbness in your fingers or t? Anything that resembles carpal tunnel symptoms? I have those symptoms and I also have ringing in both ears like tinnitus. All replies are welcome.

I was reading through this discussion and saw your post. This describes to a T what I am experiencing. I was treated very badly by numerous providers and no one is helping me. I thought I had a worm infestation, but I’m thinking it might be more of this fungal thing you’re discussing. What are the things you used to help? Thank you.
