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?

      Thank you for your reply, robertao7458. I feel almost normal with the support I am receiving today. I definitely was called delusional and just "crazy talk". I do have some Tea Tree Shampoo. I am going to try that tonight. I had never thought of that. Thank you so much. ❤️

      any topical retinoids oil or creams kill the red and black mites. permethrin cream helps too. its usd for scabies. good luck.

      amelia. So wish that were true. They gave me one kind that actually helped them spread into my jaw line. If it didnt help it spread it certainnly didnt kill them. ,Scabies was my one though but hsve since ruled out as i have seen these up close under magnigfer glass. Thanks for sugesstion on some people it may work. i wouldnt rule it out. The only oil i use is tea tree oil which seems to work best an is the main ingredent on overcounter dermodex prescripe

      Thank you

      Amelia Amelia retinoids are not for everyone they definitely can make it worse they're very harsh on the skin tea tree oil is one of the best things to suggest right now especially diluted but retinoids are not for everyone for sure they say to stay away from those especially a very harsh on the skin

    Can i suggest getting your blood work done.

    Get a full blood count, check for all std's & specifically check your Triglycerides

    Normal levels are upto 170ml mine on my last test was 480 which is way off the charts & at these levels can cause the skin to go crazy.

    Im not saying this is for everyone but its a simple enough test that might provide some answers that no one else has been able to provide you in the past.

      Yourdad. Thank you for the suggestion an u are absolutely right. They are planning on doing that my next Dr appt. plus i believe i have a low immune system may be a contributing factor. My first incounter was with dermodex mites thiugh thats what i still suspect. I also was cleaning for a person that had smoked meth in this room i was cleaning. The next day i was covered in spots. I cant mention that because when i did they thought i was smoking it. which im 66 an that would be the ladt thing id touch. But just mentioning that to Dr made him say i was delusional. i have seen ppl faces an legs of ppl who do smoke it an it is so similiar an they cant get help either. Had a friend great quitar player who told me he had worms in his face. it looked like a bad case of acne. it ruined him an his career. unfortunately he has passed on before he got a diagnostis. Whatever it is its not going away on its own an if its hot an muggy out it seem to breed. Thats why cleaning an regimine i use is important. But yes i have had them in eyes nose ,ears an defintely want blood tested. Would really like to find answers to help these ppl because i know they suffer.

      Thanks again, Roberta

    I dont remember who typed about using a needle. No i wouldnt do that. Like she said try nit to pick at it. Keep it clean I use antibactrial or cheiphel an after that i use deluted tea tree oil. It really keeps it from spreading if u have that problem, which some creams will do. Dont try sufficating it as that just makes it worse. Try ordered me a cream but my ins wouldnt cover an it was like $300 . If u have to get dead skin off use twizzers but wipe down with alcoholalcohola this site an dont want to afend noone. ive been dealing with this going on 4 yrs. Ive been to 5 Dermitiligist. They are sending me to infectious disease in Oct. Another thing ill mention is Dr told me told me to use medical honey l easons. It does help healing an scaringill be so happy when we all find a solution to this nightmare. wish u all the best. Ill keep u updated on any progress. im from WV. Thanks Roberta

    Aimmee.

    They gave me cream at last visit an im on medicare but they say its too expensive an wont cover it. This is ridiculous the run around im getting. They have made little burrow lines on my face an white things come out the ecnds. i had a big blistexr thing on outside of my nose an it had a bunch of little silver things come out. its been going on over 3 yrs. im 66 yrs old . Donot use drugs an they still cant find the problem. I can seex it but they dont even get close enough too. Now they tell me they dont have equipment to diagnosis this. Im losing it too as i never had a pimple before an always took care of my skin, an at my age its starting to wrinkle an then these lines an infections on leasions. I ve been to 5 dermogologist an infectious disexasex. So im calling ba,ck an seeing another one. something bettxer be done soon or i see a malpracticex suit comming. Ill keep u informed. The swollen glands could be an immune disorder i would check abiut that also. But no i dont have that problem. just thecse parasitexs comming to surcfacex. In this day an age they should knowx something. i thought a doctor was suppose to take an oath to help us. Be intouch.

    hello all!珞

    well a few months and four doctors later no one knows or even wants to do anything for mine. since the first time my parasites/bugs have changed , i believe theyre screw flies or sand fleas i also ended up with vaginal worms,

    mine are surfacing under my skin i tried to pull a huge 2 inch locust grub looking thing out but theyre pretty smart, its like theyre part of ur skin . i have smaller whitish/yellow spiked grubs on my cheek by my ear and a strped centiped that lives innmy ear

    the worst is i cant touch my blood or have it touch my skin it if i do ,it immeditley burns into my skin and becomes something that likes to constatly move and cut lines in me.ive got 5 on the loose they stay on the surface but they do travel around i have a worm larvas on my thumb and both lipsthe one one mythumb is awful irs hollowed out under boththumb nails a one pointer.and to top it off ,im contagious my poor kitty has them now .my s/o has them ive had no help except antibiotics ohand some antiphycotics the dermatoligist prescribed..everyone thinks im nuts or a junkie.

    we all have weird liver fluke things inour eyes that come out when we sleep..i seen my cats ,and his it was terrifying seeing s flat thing ome cruisin out of there eyesthe antibiotics work but everything has to be cleaned like i have bed bugs.its hard deciding what to get i figured mites rope worm some sort of fluke and the couple hundred female sand fleas thats spread throughout me..ranging from a tiny maggot up tp at least 2" long ..today im going to infectious disease control i think ivermectin will do it .the doctors can give it to you but mine ignore me tell me its scabies or im a self pain inflictor.im hoping for andwers soon i dont want to have a stroke or somebrain injury just because there lazy. my poor cat that has them has grey maggots in her mouth snd huge sand fleas that you can see surface under her eye. but once again its early the things arent moving mouch.so of course she diesnt see nothing and they got that funny look going again .they went as far as calling animal control to do a well check on my cat,MY CAT.

    i really hope this trip ill get answers.

    im tired of being the needle in a haystack.

      Kitty 1971 so sorry you are going through this too. What you showed is very similar to what I have also. Been to numerous doctors, er, clinics no one takes you serious. I have been using ivermectin horse paste orally and topically. This is something I won't have thought I would do but I'm desperate. Have had this for 4 years. I hope someone would help all of us that suffer this crap!! thanks for listening!
