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?

    just remember one thing - doctors are pompous idiots.

    you know your body. they want always to be the one to tell you what you don't know. and when they don't know, what you have does not exist. the current crop of doctors under 40 are socially retarded and smug and elitist. they did not become doctors to help people. they became doctors for the status and the money.

    i have had a major scabies infestation for 15 MONTHS! And to this day it still remains undiagnosed. now, things just so happen to be finally moving in the right direction, but i had to fire my doctor, go through an incredible amount of stupid beaurocracy, and spent the fifteen months miserable, mentally and physically taxed, and very angry. don't be like me and slow them to make you doubt yourself. they have been telling me all this time that im "imagining it". there is a long history in the united States of a neglect of certain sdi's, parasites, and other diseases that they have figured out a way to not have to deal with them by labeling people as DELUSIONAL. the statistics on this are false because THEY'VE created the situation by rampant misdiagnosis, which then more often than not, drives the patient away, never to come back. the patient becomes completely mistrustful of doctors and so whatever it is they eventually do to rid themselves of their affliction, often goes unreported. so then the doctors assume that they were right because the patient never comes back. it's a big lie and a big medical farce. plus through their stupidity and elitist ideas of their own self importance, they continue to put this diagnosis on people. especially if you ifare poor, a person of color, or a drug user. for good sakes, if you ever get a parasite DO NOT TELL YOUR DOCTOR THAT YOU USE DRUGS. EVER. you will regret you ever did. because what they do then is - EVERYTHING you report, every symptom you have, and your intelligent intuition about your own body will be ignored and treated as further delusion. it's a wicked and nasty diagnosis. a literal medical limbo.

    i wish you good luck. SHOW them the video of the Japanese guy on you tube who is having the worms pulled out of his face by some doctors. then they might change their tune.

    imageI know this is a long shot but did anything resemble my pics? I have been dealing with a skin issue since December 2018 that I thought was scabies or an allergic reaction to bed bug bites but my doctor says no. The rash has changed since these pictures were taken. Now my skin has periods of extreme dryness and itch. I feel as if something is crawling under my skin. I have sharp crystal like particles sticking out of my skin on my elbows and other places. I've taken Ivermectin and done everything I can to get relief. I've seen several doctors with no answers. I was given steroids in the beginning which helped a little but just masked the problem. I have had a skin biopsy, blood tests, urinalysis, and I am still having more tests. I will be seeing a dermatologist soon but I feel like I am going insane. My skin from head to toe is severely dry and can be flaked off by nail. It looks crystalline like. I've used face peels and I have had dark red like threads pulled out from my face and a white substance I though could just been oil from my skin but it doesn't really look like oil. I've scrubbed with apple cyder vinegar and soaked in it and black specs/mites possibly and other clear or white specs/larva? are in the water. That seems to make things worse as if I am exposing a parasite/mite/?? and I have to scrub again in the shower several times and then I'll go a couple days with relief. Fresh washed bedding and clothing sometimes makes me feel something crawling on me and sometimes I feel itchy and the only way to make it quit is to scrape that area of my skin which is dry and flaky. I feel so disgusting. I am a very clean person and I keep my home clean as well. I have 2 cats and they seem to be bothered by something so I've been using Advantage and it helps. I have thrown away mattresses and box springs, couches, chairs, clothing, bedding, electronics, and etc. I have moved twice, sprayed pesticides, used D Earth, and more. It continues the cycle within days. I've bagged and sealed items that I could not part with for long periods of time. I've been having infections more frequently that I've never had before. My health is declining and I am starting to have heart palpitations, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, and etc. So much more can be said but I've embarrassed myself enough. I am from the midwest and I need some help from anyone that could shed some light on this issue. I do have the face peel with the red thread like substance. I haven't take a pic yet but I can and will post the pic if necessary. Please anyone that can help would be a Godsend and it would be appreciated.

    I've been dealing with this for quite a while now myself. at first I thought it was something wrong with my skin until I saw the movement. it has been a complete nightmare! unfortunately, the only information I could find about it was the sites and this message board implying that this was a crazy disease. I've never been delusional I've never had any hallucinations and I've never been squirmished bugs or worms or anything and I've never picked my skin until I saw these things on my eyes and the webbing from these. anyway, this made me Leary of going to the doctor so I spent hundreds and hundreds honestly probably thousands trying to treat this at home and the closest I got was then leaving my body going to my mattress and then coming back on my body again. I finally broke down and went to urgent Care they did give me ivermectin to be taken as one dose. within 24 hours I could see that it was killing them that I could see the dead worms coming out and the egg sacks releasing. however my case might be too far advanced I know I have a very very large room in my eye that might continue to my ears nose and mouth and further. at this point I'm not sure if they're separate or one worm. apparently the medicine does not kill these adult worms or not at least right away. I went back to urgent care because I couldn't stand it anymore they were wreaking havoc on my throat with those little Crystal things trying to put them on my throat because they couldn't use my immune system anymore I guess and whether or not she thought I was crazy which I think they all do anyway sent in the topical cream I guess which I'm waiting for the pharmacy to supply. that's where I'm at, it's so frustrating to hear and feel crazy for this when it's such a nightmare to go through I feel so all alone. just because of the stigma alone I've only told like five people two people be in the doctors. eat my own family looks at me with three heads even though I have plenty of pictures and when I was picking you could see the worms in the movement. just because they don't see worms squirming round my face, I'm automatically making it up. one good thing too is I also got a referral to an infectious disease doctor, so I'm hoping that will give me some answers and finally get rid of this for good. one thing I wanted to mention as well is that reading some of these messages in the past I see that a lot of people from the south of California I'm in New York which I guess makes it very unusual for me to have something like this. good luck I hope all goes well with you and everyone else.

    I think you have a fungal infection...it comes out white and coats your hair.... if your doing any type of speed...coke or meth....this can happen. I thought I had worms once too and doctors were cruel while I was freaking out and sure it was worms...I quit doing coke and it stopped....I was positive I had a parasite....I put olive oil in my hair and coconut oil too and that helped...I actually shaved my bangs off in my attempt to get rid of the worms....but it really was fungus from that drug....good luck to you.

    I am in Canada and until I read these posts...I thought i was going crazy! So many of your experiences are also mine for 3 plus yrs now. 3 different Doctors , 3 separate Diagnosis and 3 different treatments and nothing has worked. Until I read your stories I thought was alone! I too have the feeling of shards of glass, scarring, brown spotting on my face now and pigmentation loss in certain areas. If it isn't painful and ugly enough to begin with, when I dampen a cloth and put it on my face to release some of the pressure , to my horror there are hard white pallets that are coming through my skin. Almost like tiny balls of kleenex. I also have the clear sticky weeping at times and what looks like a tiny worm but when I try to pull on it , it breaks off in my skin ! I feel so dirty because of it..!My complexion used to be so nice and clear and now it's scarred, discolored and even cratered in certain spots!I am at a loss and shocked by how many of us are experiencing the same things. I isolate so much because of it and now have depression as well! I wish I could get a proper Diagnosis and Cure! Thank you for sharing your experiences and letting me know that I am neither crazy nor alone!

      I honestly can't believe this either! Never in a million years would I have thought this.

      i to feel dirty and struggle with depression. Panic, fear, agoraphobia and now this.

      i hide out so no one sees me.

      I'm finding help one way or another!
