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?

I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. NONE OF THE DOCTORS SEEM TO BELIEVE ME AND THE ER DOCTORS DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PARASITES. ALBENDAZOLE DIDNT WORK SO NOE I HAVE TO TRY OTHERS MEDS AND ORDER THEM FROM CANADA BECAUSE US SEEMS TO NOT HAVE ANY OR THEY ARE 500 for one pill. FOR THE TIME BEING I HAVE BEEN PUTTING 100% pure coconut on my face for the sores and all over my body and it seems to be helping. ALSO AMAZON CLAY HELPS TO REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR GUMS BELIEVE IT OR NOT. ALSO, ive been wasning my body and face with liquid turmeric in the shower from costco. GAMECHANGER. JUST BE CAREFUL ITS STAINS CLOTHES. THE NEXT DAY YOU CAN SEE THE DEAD WORMS IN YOUR FEET BECAUSE THEY ARE YELLOW AND YOU CAN USE A PUMICE STONE TO SCRUB THEM OFF. THIS IS HELPING ME AND GIVING ME RELIEF FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL I CAN GET MEDS. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

has anyone watched this show 'diagnosis' on netflix? its basically a show created by a doctor who wanted to help patients who have strange undiagnosed illnesses - she writes the medical issue in article form in the new york times and asks readers to help diagnose - she has all types of people respond from doctors to bets to students to patients with similar symptoms etc - - and now she films this process for the world to see - i feel like enough of us have symptoms and putting this out there in this way can only help - not hurt - let me know if any of you have seen the show or think it may be worth a try to contact her with our symptoms

I wish so badly it was that simple. This from a woman that has quite literally tried it all. I mean that quite literally. I think this community needs to simply blow up either Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz. Each saying the same thing..eventually someone will listen....praying for you

my wife and i have the same thing and we have tried everything including dog and cat flea and tick shampoo which helps quite a bit! Try using rubbing alcohol as they hate it do to the dehydration effect i believe. We take baby wipes and spray the alcohol on them and rub our entire body down which always settled them down when they are on the attack. Someone recently asked me if we had demodex mites, as if your immune system is down which my wives is and mine also that you can get and over infestation of this mite that we all carry on us and cause a sticky substance on your scalp which i have.

Hi David, I was wondering how you and your wife are doing now? Thanks for the tip on the rubbing alcohol and baby wipes as it does tend to help! Good luck,

try food grade diametus earth me snd my s/o has it and my cat shes got bot fly type larva also the big crustains that we have. u can rub it on ur skin and put it in ur food it dehydrates them
im gonna try to lay in water fully submerged and only breathe thru a straw . i noticed they do surface and make holes to breathe sooo naybe if i do that theyll die i get these pieces of skin the breaks free and cuts horrible lines in me and it wont stop til i pull it out or it goes inside me
bad thing is since ive pulled three prickly maggots out of my cheek my blood has become toxic,if i tried pullin a scab off or if the cutters make me bleed and it touched me it becomes acidic and when it touches me it burns holes in my skin my lips look like s**t ive got two huge larvas in my lips so ive got holes in them
ive got many different things going on now. i have sand fleas bad ,dont know how i got them since "all" the dotors says its not in the US.i camp where alot of mexican guys fish so i figured someone had went to mexico or out if the us and brought one back . i tried telling them and they prescribed me a antipycotic pill.
i ve been using jock itch shower gel and lice shampoo i got one tub of permethrin.
that worked pretty good
i just wish theyd enlighten us and take a looksy and belive that were not crazy and watch after awhile its gonna start festering because were shootin out eggs all the time,
i just feel bad that others have to be infected for anybody to believe it .i just hope one of the docs i seen gets it
they deserve a big dose of karma.
but good luck,im glad theres others , i was starting to think i was a aliens science project lol

This has just started happening to me. I have tried to explain to everyone but when ive tried to show them they didnt bother. I forgot to mention that I have a severe phobia of bugs ... so im a mess!! Freaking out and down to 112 pounds. So one day I called my dad crying and asked to go to the ER because they were in my e y rd. Before the Dr seen me my dad and sister told them I must be on meth and delusional.. The dr came in and looked in my eyes and nose and said he wanted a drug screen. I walked out. I need help and no one will listen

Look up Demodex mites and see if you have those symtoms. I am horrified of bugs too! If this is it they are hard to get rid of but do everything it says too! Good luck!

ok , thank god i found this Forum as I’ve felt extremely alone and desperate through all of this! I went to the emergency room twice begging somebody to just look at what I was even talking about, and nobody would, they accuse me of being on math like many of others on this forum, told me hat I was suffering from schizophrenic hallucinations, and tried to convince my family that I needed to go to a 3-10 day inpatient mental facility. I have managed to collect many pictures of what is coming out of my hands, and many samples that I’ve come across in the bathtub. I have one dermatologist that does believe me but he is in another state and I am about to visit with a dermatologist where I have just moved to and I’m hoping to God she doesn’t think I’m insane. I am going armed with many samples, many pictures, and I’m going to try not to break down in front of her. I made the decision that I am going to go to medical school over this because it has truly changed my life in such a horrific way, and there are so many people that I can see are suffering, and if nobody will take us seriously, then I will. I don’t speak to my family about it, I’m scared to tell my friends about it, I’m scared to have people over at my house because I don’t want them to get this, and I shutter to think how many people are accused of being insane for something that is very very very real. im so sorry to all of you. i think my infection is chronic enough that its visible to the eye, i CANNOT let this thing win. i had on a set of acrylic nails and my fingertips began to go numb in 2 fingers, soon after me thinking it was a fungus and treating it as such i slowly started to notice all 10 of my fingers were not only going numb but started showing signs of edema, it took a couple of life cycles for me to figure out that it was some type of worm because I started to find small larva around. Like someone else had mentioned, always in pairs almost like they were hugging each other, creepy. Then I started to notice them in my discharge and my snot, and then inside my eyes, and I kept trying to point it out to everybody and everybody just kept saying that’s just skin! And I kept going dude, this is not my skin this like NOT skin lol but not lol cause secretly dying on the inside. Right before the infection got bad, I told my coworker that I just felt so off-balance and that I needed to do some yoga or something to get back a hold of my life, I was forgetting small details and I had always been very organized and on top of my stuff and I just started to drop the ball on tons of little things and I just couldn’t figure out why and it was just like, what’s going on? Why do I feel so blehhhggh. Then i had such a bad infection in my hands i was diahnosed with chtonic paronychia and staph - was put on bactrim for 10 days. Staph got better, this hot worse. was then diagnosed with candida paronychia. checked for all sorts of diseases and autoimmune stuff. nothing. only test they didnt do was a thick/thin blood smear which testsfor malaria but certainly at that time the microfilaria were everywhere as thats when they were in my bath with me, snot, discharge, you name it - even on my tongue! When i first took the pinworm meds i defintely passed a long couple of worms, as well as threw them up, abd then again but after further research this isn’t a one and done. went to feed store, got ivermectin and made a topical and taking internally (watch dosing for weight). And continuing pamoate for pineworm as ive read theyre safe together. i do these in cycles not all at once. i wear cotton gloves you can get these at like, walgreens, and i try to wash sheets every day or have a change. wash and dry on high heat.
if you’ve ever seen the science of worms they seek Oxygenated places, which is why I think they like the nails and the lungs and other hollow space isoxygenated places, which is why I think they like the nails and the lungs and other hollow space, and why I think it’s attracted to toilet paper or micropore tape or hydrocolloid bandages XYZ - also why I think hydrogen peroxide has detrimental effects to it because there is a catylace to help that rxn occur. ive caught a couple of clear slimy worms and just about lost it. i cant figure out what shape it takes as it toes take soooo many its terrifying. its gonna be okay yall. im here with you and it breaks my heart. youre not crazy.

Hi,
Great idea, get a degree in parasitology as well as general medicine and then set up a practice for parasite infestations. We seem to be afflicted with multi parasitism and all the accompanying fungus, bacteria etc but we do not have adequately trained medical professionals in UK or USA. I cannot find anyone in UK who could help me. Please anyone if you know of any Doctors who can handle this in any country, please post their details.
put English mustard on and see mass exit of larvae and worms, be ready with q tips!!
Lesions expel more than skin without lesions.
I'm going to sprinkle dry mustard powder in all my food, it is amazing for scalp infestations sprinkle liberally all over hair and scalp leave overnight.
I don't know what the hell is going on if it's just people with impaired immune systems or if all afflicted with this micro filea, I have larger worms in the face, I pulled a fly out of a ridge on my head, liver flukes in my stools. Are we all chronically ill and is this how it has always been and Doctors just sectioned people as psychotic in the past?, or is this a new condition that nobody believes exists, I need to know the answer to this. Surely someone in the science or medical field has the answer.
I'm sick of being told I have Delusions of Parasitosis and family all think I am psychotic, friends same and my kids, I've lost my career, life partner and home.

Im not doing that great. If i even start to do anything that looks like im trying to get rid of things on my skin i get yelled at or asked wtf i am doing because everyone thinks im crazy or on drugs. The only relief i get is when i shower or sit in the tub for hrs. i literally have taken shaving cream and tried shaving my whole body lol. I have been sleeping alot. I seen my therapist yesterday and see my Dr again on the 8th. Have you found anything else that works for you? I have tried everything and cleaned everything twice. Im just about to give up

aimee, im going to tell you what you need to do as it will be hard but i am healing. You need to turn your energy into repairing your immune system. purchase a parasite or yeast cleanse. do not, i repeat, do not pick at the lesions because it spreads and as im sure youre aware it can then take months to heal! take overly saturated epsom baths, and then remoisturize heavily with a combination of a colloidal oatmeal fragrant free lotion and castor oil, and then follow it up with a bit of an otc topical steroid (i purchased a natural one and stopped using ALL fragrant shampoos/lotions/body products all 100 percent natural ingredients. i threw away my birth control and i stopped taking my adhd meds that i had been on for years. i took rotating doses of ivermectin from the feed store and pyrantel pamoate for 7 days and then you must just stop. allow your body to work. it is hard, so very hard but my hands went raw again and i had to allow them to crust over and scab, and i wore cotton gloves religiously lathered with my lotions and oils. within the time of the last visit my doctor has taken samples, but is certain it is 100% autoimmune even though i had told her what i had taken leading up to our appt. my hands are now beginning to shed thick layers of skin, and underneath it - MY skin, and i know it. my lesions are still tricky as i have about 4 nonhealing spots no matter what i do. but the moment i decided i couldnt let this thing take me, i gave in and said fine run your course and if i die maybe then theyll see. and if the lesions never heal at least i know that i didnt lose my sanity to this thing (even tho i still struggle).
i was referred to an autoimmune specialist. Both dermatologists have conflicting diagnosis of lupus and lichen planus w bolus lesions - i tested positive for ana antibodies however only tick off 3-11 criteria for lupus being the skin rash, ana antibodies, and potentially a malar rash that does not break out in butterfly pattern but across the entirity of my chest and face, but the other Derm believes i have a rare hand variation of lichen planus that occurs in a small amount of people with this common skin occurance but both were quite frank w me that they believe it is autoimmune.
healing my soul, time for myself and away from family that called me crazy, and self love (as actually crazy as THAT may seem) is what seems to be restoring my skin. my hands and toes dont look pretty but i try to put faith in my body that it has the tools it needs if i dont interfere.
Tiana123456 aimee70859

i started to think about something my derm said about how antimalarial drugs are sometimes used to suppress immune system activity in people with SLE - and then i thought about the effects of ivermectin and why some have found relief through its use and it might be the fact that it has immunosuppressive properties. youre best to find a rheumatologist we must stop going to dermatologists, PCP, or even the ER. a rheumatolgist will run every blood test in the book to figure out why your body is attacking itself - that is there job. find one and see if theyre willing to investigate.
as for me - i am going back to school and after long thought it wont be in medicine but rather public health. i know it isnt exactly what we need to find a "cure" but its what i needed and where i feel i should direct my energy. should we start a facebook support group??

RobertaTIANnai think we hud starta fb upport group. There ae around 50 or mire people in my small town here in WV. Nobody has had any help. ne grl hd a worm in her eye an used coconut oil an finally got it out an took the sampleo a dermotogolidt an he said she could have got that anywhere. i even showed my dr this forum an he said i dont know what to tell u. yes an immune system could make the problem worse but thats not where it started for me. My medicare wouldnt let me get the cream they wrote a script or said it cost to much so there looking for a generic. it helps but doesnt kill anything. i work up witha blister on outside of my nose an when it broke awhole bunch of silver things came out, then it is ozzing. WTF WHy cant they take the time to find out. i havent had them get close enough to look st me let alone take a sample. ive got strings down my chhek under the skin the on the ends a white worm like thing appears. Ive seen alot in my time but nothing like this. They will get silver things in my eyes an always go towards the pupil. i just wonder if they dont lay dormant behind my eyes. ive been to 5 dermologist an infectious disease. Come on now this is the 20 century. i guess im going to try invermicine not sure where to get it. they did blood work but said nothing

Hey sweetie, don’t give up, trust me I have wanted to so many times! I have been doing a lot of research and I am going to see a rheumatologist next week. I’m not sure that I don’t have lupus, I have a lot of the symptoms and you can also have a lot of skin problems. It has to do with your immune system and you can go in and out re mission. I will do better for a while and then I start to feel bad again. I started taking an over-the-counter medicine to prevent yeast and I take a lot of vitamins. I continue to use body wash that helps to detox and also the same with shampoo and conditioner. I use a lotion that has neem in it and that seems to help. Has anyone noticed having discolored spots on their skin? The lesions that I get I believe may be coming from my ear. I don’t think it’s a worm anymore I think it something else. Hang in there and God bless.

I was wondering how you were doing? Have you noticed anything on your face that looks like sticky tape? I am constantly rubbing it off my chin and my neck. I hope you’re doing better.

I watched one crawling across the floor, TRANSPARENT! it is in the shape of a snail, it was about 2 inches in length, 1 inch wide. The dogs saw it and I thought they were crazy, they acted so odd. I watched as its neck come stretching out and up at least 1 inch further from its body, as it came down the head spread out wide with ribbed or ridged edge across the front of'head' and as it came down it stretched further, suction cup like grabbed the floor and DRAGGED ITS BODY up to its head and did it over and over across my floor!!!!
I put a clear pot over it, I had to show somebody this right?
Well folks, that thing became liquid like, disassembled, crawled in many puddle 'goo looking balls' and reformed on top of that pot!!!
Who makes this stuff up, it took the sprinkles from our donuts one morning....made a clown face white face blue eyes and creepy red smiling mouth and clown nose ( this was back in 2012)
cloned a dolphin statue with this amber shade goo stuff....crazy but true!!!

I wish i was as crazy as everyone who i have tried to talk to thinks i am. I only talk about it now on here. I see my Dr. Friday and ive taken pictures before and you really cant to tell so now i have a video. Everyday i lather up in shaving cream or dawn dish soap... Bath and shower trying to get rid of as many as I can even though i know as soon as i get out I can feel my skin crawling from head to toe with something I can see deteriorate everything it comes in contsct with. if i can upload the video its the best image i have been able to get. Its my bath water before i drained it. I sat down and cried when i watched it back. There is something really wrong with what this is .
