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 have been suffering from this too for several years. I have seen hundreds of dermatologists and still have yet to get a proper diagnosis and resolution. I've been told i am "self mutilating" my skin and referred to see a psychiatrist more than once. I was misdiagnosed with scabies, ezcema, and psoriasis. I have the same symptoms as you are describing. I feel like I am going to lose my mind over this. The worms, eggs, and what looks like a flea are all characteristics of the parasite I am dealing with. It appears to have 3 stages (as described above) of it's life/reproduction cycle. And yes what appears to be something resembling 'little shards of glass'. What has helped me kill off some of them was by working from the "inside out" thought process. I started taking black walnut wormwood oil that I put 15 drops in an empty veggie capsule and digest. I also started using a topical cocktail of clove oil diluted with coconut oil to exhume them from my skin. I also take sulphur tablets (orally) once per day. In addition I use aloe vera gel and tea tree oil for the skin and scalp lesions. One thing that helped me draw out one of these parasites (from my skin) was by using a hydrogel bandaid (hydrocolloid bandage) that resulted in pulling out the fully intact parasite so I could get an accurate view of it in hopes of finding the right remedy.

    I have been dealing with this for over 10 years and my quality of life has diminished almost completely.

    hello my name is Rebecca and this is a attempt to reach out for some help in a really bad way. I am at the point now where I haven’t considered taking my own life because I can’t deal with the pain anymore. I can’t deal with people looking at me like there’s something wrong with me because I have sores on my face and my lips are swollen and painful. I’ve been dealing with this for about a year my hair when I take a shower my hair sticks to my body where I have to peel it off of me literally i used to have long beautiful hair no there’s barely anything left. I get this saliva in my mouth that’s thick and sticky and gooey and was numbs my mouth I have them coming out of my face, my nose,i have starting to cough them up I can feel them on my scalp and you can feel them everywhere. I’ve been to neurologist dermatologist regular doctors ER‘s and they all look at me like I’m weird or that I’m delusional when I’m bringing samples of my hair because nobody believes me it’s gotten to the point where I have panic attacks everytime i have to get in the shower because I can feel them and I can’t get it all off I tried the baking soda and vinegar yesterday and it made it worse I had to go to work and wear mask and literally my face felt like it was on fire. I can feel them of my neck and the bite and then it hurts and you want to cry you want to scream but you can’t because you go to work because you have got to live. My mom and dad tell me quit picking at your face but I can’t help it because it hurts it feels like litle shards pf glass it’s on fire put makeup on it makes it look worse . I am at the end of my rope please somebody anybody please help me before its to late. I am embarrassed to go out in public Incamt stand to look at my self in the mirror .

      Hi

      It sounds like the same thing I have and no one believes me. My "worms" have hairs that

      come thru my skin sometimes. I have been to so many doctors and "specialists". I live in New York City and you think that someone would help me.

      These worms have laid eggs inside face and head and no one will even believe me

      to check that out. I feel that at this point I probably do not have much time. I think that when they open, its over.

      Maybe someone has a suggestion, a quick one please.

      Thanks

      hi hunny im a single mom been dealing with this best i can for a long time now

      witch hazel

      hydrogen peroxide

      rubbing alcohol

      permethrin and ivermectin (you need a doctor for it but they sell both for horses on amazon)

      i can tell you how i make the permethrin cream i make mysef because doctors just arent giving me the proper treatments and im labeled at this point for delusions of parasites

      can buy the 10 percent permethrin for horses and add it to lotion my kids hate the smell i do a lotion on kids any time i see the sores starting on my daughter

      the permethrin cream was keeping this pretty under control but i think the things adapted

      ive found collodial oat lotions really help for explultion

      lidocaine helps with the pain of the exitting

      taking the ivermectin works make sure you dose yourself properly and buckle up if you have them all over like me

      id do the permethrin cream treatment first a few times then do the ivermectin if you have never taken the medicine before because the die off process for these things.. it wakes up everything dormant in the body at once

      i know it feels hopeless trust me its a huge process but i had this almost under control and im out numbered with two messy kids

      wash ur bedding with borax and vinegar once u put on the first cream

      spray down your matresses with witch hazel or rubbing alcohol

      repeat the process at the first sign of it coming back

      it will come back if all u do is the cream

      i hope this helps! the witch hazel for your scalp is something you can do right away and its very comforting for that itchy feeling i also had alot of ear pain that doxtors say nothing wrong with my ears but witch hazel on a qtip in the ear helps so much

      ur not alone and indections like this are hard tj diagnose because they presbt as different things for years please hang in there!

    Nicolamc,

    I read your post a couple months back and was frusterated with what has been occuring because I knew that I was going to have the same path, sad you have to try to prove yourself when a few test will confirm the truth either way. After being called dillusional and ask if i was high I knew my fate would be like yours. I purchased a cheap microscope and took pics thru the lense and compaired them to photos online and lucked onto some information on River Blindness (Onchocerca volvulus) Its rare in the states and even with the Health department stepping in ive had crazy looks all day from healthcare. I am 99.9% certain I know what I have and my symptoms are identical to yours. I contacted the Helth department whom contacted the cdc and they have taken it very seriously because of the microscope pictures I submitted. I gave a skin snip,blood, and stool today and cant wait to get the results. Icing on the cake that i will recieve diagnosis came tonight. Using a pedicure pumice roller i was getting rid of my horrible dead skin areas on my feet and found a large infestation at the side and sole of my foot. Im not for certain how long ive had these but after having covid about 10 weeks ago I am assuming they thrived on my weak immune system. I feel this disease my be affecting alot of people in the US but incorrectly diagnosed or written off as someone with drug problems or mental illness. My recomendation is to call your health department and tell them this story amd see if they dont take you seriously. I will update as soon as I get an official diagnosis. Watch Parasites without borders episode 29 on you tube for some good information on the disease. I

    I really hope this helps,

    I was f....... honked off that No One gave a !!! I was HOLY S... PICKLES!!If you have an insurance plan where you can look at doctors or in this case Surgical Specialist, Im a retired surgical RN I worked with the best surgeons ever, and it may seem like it started on your face but nope. that thing started in your stomach and pretty much made a family!! Now you might want to sit for this.......but Dammit you waited way to long for this. POSSIBLE TAPE WORM FROM HELL,! The surgeons I worked with also educated us and the one that made a fort in a patient and the only way of removing it was a long ass process!! true story! After it was finally over that THING was 25 feet long!! its a long ass process kiddo every day a wee bit was wrapped on a medical device then special medical tape seal held it in place then every day that poor person had to stay in ICU these people had to just had to wrap it slowly in the tiniest amount im talking toothpick size one wrap around clean reseal and repeat. 9/11 happened and this RN in the USA, special black ops sniper, ARMY soldier , staff Sargent and my entire unit went over seas. that poor patient actually thought I bailed on them. Dr. C, turned the computer screen around and he saw me in my greens....... but over seas it was different shades of tans and brown and the other was multi colored blacks and greys. he looked at me and saluted me i did the same of course. Come home safe!!

      IT WORKED! NO NEW EGGS/LARVAE! CHIGARID, USE CHLORASEPTIC FF OR SORE THROAT ON THE LESIONS FIRST BECAUSE CHIGARID WILL LIGHT YOU UP! Leave on over night use tweezers to peel off and clean then do it again. I am also taking Ivermectin orally.
