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 the happiest I have been in a very long time, all to this wonderful group of people and this web site. I now know I have Morgellon's every symptom, because of this group I was able to get a appt. with a doctor at the University Of South Florida in Tampa who works with Morgellon's patients. He was featured on Mystery diagnosis, I am so excited I can't even believe it, a doctor who won't tell me I am delusional and stop picking, can you only imagine???? Years ago I read about Morgellon's but quickly forgot about this disease as they said it was delunsional, and the 1 thing I know is I am not making any of this up, this nightmare I have lived for 5 years. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH GOD BLESS YOU

      Hi Vicki, its good that you have finally worked out what you have.  If I hadnt have started this post I dont think I would know I have Morgellons either.  Thats fantastic you have a doctor who doesnt think its delusional.  I've decided not to mention Morgellons to any more doctors.  I just got referred to a new dermatologist yesterday, havent got the appointment yet but I wont be mentioning fibers to them lol and be selective what I show them.  Its a shame a lot of us have to be secretive but when we are honest it just means no treatment.  Lazy good for nothing doctors.  I firmly believe it wont be a doctor who finds the cure for this condition.  What they are looking at medically doest scratch the surface.  The fiber aspect is usually the least of my worries.  The organisms and cloned hair and wilfull destruction of my body scares me more than the fibers.

      Please help I've been infected for almost a year and now my 4 year old son is showing the signs of the white worms. What is your Dr. Name and the treatment he uses.

      Before I lost my health coverage, I had sought out a 3rd world country doctor. The doctor I had, not only LISTENED to what I was saying, he knew exactly what was going on. Neither of us realizing the amount of exposure i was subjected to, started me on Albendazole, 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off 2 weeks on.

      I'm sorry to hear about your son. I too, see the signs in both my kids. Their pediatrician not only tries to shut me up the second I begin to speak, but has also convinced my other half that I am dilussional and has been preparing an attempt to have me committed. To bad I unknowingly stumbled upon all the paperwork. I WILL be going after that doctor's license to practice when I am done.

      Find a doctor from India, Africa, The Phillipines or any of the countries targeted to mass treat NTD's (Neglected Tropical Diseases).

    Hi,

    I have the same problem as you mention except the parasites live all over my body yet I get really disturbed when I feel them moving around under my scalp. I started taking Albendaziole which i bought online and the next day did a stool sample. I found the same critters that are in Rhuby's photos. I have uploaded them.

    My doctor has referred me to a Infectious Disease specialist, yet I went through this same routine 10 years ago and all the docs told me that I didn't have any parasites. 

    I was hoping that you solved the problem by now and could tell me the name of this parasite. I looked online and went through the CDC photos and many more never to find one that looks like what we have. 

    I look forward to your answer.

      Morgellons you have,  it comes in different forms, some people have it all over there body, some just have it in certain areas some just on there head I myself had a hole just in the middle of my chest then it went directly into my face.  I now I got it to stop or lay dormat.  You have morgellons from your pics.  I know because that is what I pulled out.  I pulled out some of all the stages it went through. From white pulops, a clear slime with yellow seeds, white fuzz, black specs, white brown slime with eyes it looked like, razor sharp sheilds that was on outside of face, hair like strands, some of these things were huge some small, I could see black streeks moving under my skin when I tried digging them out.  So when I saw that I would get infront of them and start digging again.   Soon as I dug my skin open to get them out my skin would close right back up. One of the doctors that I first went to was great, he said he never saw anything like it, as he was using his knife blade to slice my chin open he said it was closing as he was cutting it, he totally described morgellons in his report but neither of us had any knowledge of morgellons then and he sent me on to someone else hoping they could help me, it only got worse with every new doctor after that .

      Wow! Ok thanks for the info. But seems like to get rid of them is about the same way. I think mine is getting better from the liquid bandage and the dem. Earth. But I am still digging out tons of dead skin that is hard and still flaring my face up. Yes I have seen different things come out at times. I figure it's different stages . Like when it first started it was like a white head that was hard and when I pulled it out it would relieve the pain sooo much. But it kinda looked like a root . Then when it was wet I would grab hold of one and pull it and it would be so long and it would either break off and suck back in like crazy or another one would come right back up. I have seen like glitter flecks. Lines and circles of them. But mainly I had a few at first then a perfect circle of them formed and that's the hard part to get to go away. The pic came right out of the center. Which is better but can't get it to close up and now there is a big hole there!!!! I only have in one spot by my mouth below my cheek. Thank god it hasn't gone anywhere else yet! The pain those things cause is awful if I don't pull them out. It's like pressing on a nerve and runs up the side of my face and gives me terrible headaches! Ugh question I wonder how many here have chronic illness like fibro, lymes etc. I have fibro and wondered if it's anything to do with that. Also have had staph several times. Thoughts?

    Both myself and my girlfriend have been dealing with very similar conditions for past 9 months. We have been to our general practitoners, infectious disease specialist, and evenan ER doc once. My general and ER docs said staph infection based on me having a large lump on forearm from which these things seem to originate from. Was given antibiotics after brief visual inspection from feet away. The antibiotics didn't work at all. I was given stool specimen collection cup and the results were negative. . My. Doc and ERr doc both dismissed my questions about a parasite infection.

    My girlfriend's general doc did admit to seeing moving objects in her eyes. He even video taped it using his iPhone and said it was very rare and referred her to infectious disease specialist.

    We both were experiencing strange symptoms such as the appearance of worm like creatures under our skin that moved at night and left track marks on arms, legs, chest, hands, eyes, ears, and gums. We both experience nightly onset of congestion in our lungs making us wheeze and rattle when breathing.

    We also have them in our feet, toes, and under toe nails and fingernails.

    The infectious disease specialist at first seemed concerned and ordered blood work. She said it showed nothing and told us we suffered from delusional psychosis.

    My girlfriend's father is a well respected member of our community and went to talk to her general doc to ask what he thought was going on. He said the doc said that he could get in trouble for admitting this but that basically they just don't know what it is or what to do about it.

    The infection control doc became very angry and condescending when we tried to show her clear outlines of worm like sructures in and around our various lesions. She stormed out of room telling us to never come back. But not before accusing us both of self inflicting our multiple open areas due to methamphetamine use. Neither of us have ever used methamphetamine.

    We've tried Vitamin C, Garlic, vinegar, topical creams from over the counter, etc and nothing much seems to help. We bathe and shower with Borax from time to time and it seems to help a little.

    Her father travels internationally and got us some albendazole tablets from India. When we take them the things tend to exit our bodies or move to surface where they cause more pain. We try to get them out of our intact skin and open wounds but if you remove one it's as if there's always another one underneath that takes its place. .

    The only thing that seems to make a difference is Ivermectin which I et at Wal Mart . It's fr horses but we use it topically and it kills off the worm like creatures temporarily. They generally return after a period of less activity. I'm worried what damage these things may be doing to our organs such as lungs and heart. I fluctuate from being angry to depressed. My family thinks I'm crazy and refused to even listen when I try to share information from the internet about parasite infections.

    I too see black specks and white hair or thread like objects all throughout home and car, as well as what appears to be dried up versions of the worm like creatures.

    They seem to almost become one with your skin and are very difficult and painful to remove . I've stopped ev en trying due to family and friends thinking me carefully removing them from surface of an existing wound is the cause of the wound. In reality the things poke a tip through skin then encircle a small area and either reproduce or more join them because one will turn into several overnight. I'm so worried this is going to cut years off my life. My arms and hands are horrible to see at times and I wear long sleeves even in the summer . Just wanted to share my experiences because reading those of others helped me feel less alone in this. I will try to post a few pics. They are of a few areas after I applies topical Ivermectin so my skin appears chalk white but you can see the outline of the things I'm talkig about.

      Wow so sorry! I guess I am lucky I have only had that one place but over a year! But being on my face is is quite embarrassing! I am beginning to think that all the bad eye infections I had was coming from this. They tried so many antibiotics and took forever for one to work. I almost lost my vision several times. It was so painful and I could not walk outside on a cloudy day with sunglasses on without sharp pains in eye abd in head. I still have severe scarring on my eye. The doc was surprised I even got my vision back. When I take contacts out it always feels like there is something under my eyelid rubbing on my eye. Hmmm I just wonder

    Hi everyone. I'm still around and reading this thread all the time. I lost my health coverage in late February and didn't get the extended Albendazole treatment.

    Not to offend anyone by chiming in on the issue of Morgellon's. I don't buy it. To me, it's the medical profession's "catch-all". I won't dismiss what I sense, feel and have seen.

    On that note, I too, have experienced the same symptoms and signs that are discussed repeatedly here. I am regularly doing in-depth Due Diligence on this subject, with some very interesting finds I might add. One point of interest (which understandably contributes to the medical field's ignorance on the matter) is: these worms (helminths) have the ability to manipulate the body's immune system/response so blood tests don't show a parasitic infection in progress!

    Let me back up for a moment. A couple months ago, a started, what is now regularly 3-4 times daily, coughing. 2 evenings ago, my mind was put to ease over the torment of the medical professionals trying to make me believe I was DILUSSIONAL, and my understandings about my body and mind. 2 evenings ago I began coughing around 9pm and to my surprise, dislodged and produced a (semi) living specimen (pictured). THIS, is not dilussion. I know my body and what I feel/see.

    The summer temperatures are in full effect here, and the suedo-dormant feeling stage is over. The tiny black hairs (looking) are protruding again, I can see the tracks and cystic signatures left behind, loss of feeling and bloating have ramped up in my feet and legs, etc.

    So, I will continue to arm myself with information as I look for help/treatment to become well again. Another tidbit of info: as I am understanding the severity of my infection, I am coming to terms with the idea that I have had this condition for MUCH longer than previously thought, like possibly 30 YEARS. That being said, I anticipate a much longer Albendazole treatment, 8-12 months. As the WHO (World Health Organization) determined that such an extended chemo treatment (closely monitored) would be less harmful than the damage received untreated. 

    The specimen is just over 1 inch in length.

      I was in middle of long discussion re. same problem with my cats when computer shut off. So, short version is one cat dead a year and a half ago, one cat has had it for at least that long with local vets ignorant of bots in cats and dogs and a third cat who doesn't go out of house has tiny black dots on chin from time to time as well as what one person described as a bunch of them lined up on a single cat hair. I've seen white oval tough skinned (like core of a whitehead on a persons face) eggs in second cat, larvae, worms, and even what looks like bugs with tiny wings and or feet.All specimens were only a few mm. long but could be clearly seen under a jewelers loupe. The cat who died developed golfball size knots under chin and above eye. Vet suggested to put to sleep as he thought it was cancer. Now I know it is something like bots( commonly found in horses and cows but not cats and dogs). Vets didn't know what to do but bluffed. I had to show him on Internet about bots in cats.

      i wonder if this is the same thing that is going on with people who have very similar symptoms. It certainly sounds like it is.Any of you who can let me know I would greatly appreciate your response. Thank you.

    Hi im going through what your going through. I havnt pulled any fly type insects but i have pulled two strange worms out of my nose. My whole face face is infestered with small white translucent insect type worms.  Ive had holes in my face i can see tunnels that the route through round my face. My face is covered with open soars.  My dermatologist said i was crazy and there is nothing in my face. A psychologist told me i was psychotic as i explained about the translucent worms.  She actually wrote in a report i had seed a worm crwling across my face which was rubbish.  

    These things  only die with chemicals. Dog flea and tick shampoo works, domestos kills them but burns the skin.  Ive found a nit lotion which works picksan lice shampoo.  Its a complete nightmare if anyone has got any tips please help.

      You are seeing what you are seeing, don't let anyone tell you different. Also, don't try to convince.... it doesn't work. Find a doctor from a country that is targeting the issue of NTD's (Neglected Tropical Diseases). They are fimiliar with all of this. I have the exact same issues with my face. Half the time I can not shave either due to hiding the sores and facial edema or because the the state of my skin is irritated and I would make a mess of myself and not be able to face the public. I regularly pull these white/translucentish worms while cleaning my nose 3 and 4 times a day, while cleaning my ears, I find them in my mouth and cough them up directly out of my lungs.

      God bless you for writing me. I am wondering if i should even try ivermectin because of the risk of seizure. I had that brain tumor the size of a tennis ball i was told by the surgeon removed 6 years ago. If that hole is filled up with these things... i shudder to think. Also i had to get a tooth removed during a secere flair up when the maggot-ish things were starting to come out big time. And now, the whole area is super swolen like the spots on my face where i know that somethig is feeding on my blood just under the skin. I tried to kill one with a razor blade and i didnt feel the blade at all but I bled and bled. Im stressed out to say the least. If i go back to the dentist, they will probably lance it and then i dont know how many more will come either to take its place, or to feed on the well of blood coming from it and me. Its a vicious cycle to put it mildly, any views or coments? Im soo glad i have my faith and can talk to God about this. He and youall are the only ones i believe i can talk to about this. And most of you know, this crap can take up a LOT of your time.

      Your description resembles another response I just gave. Ive been pushing my Information horizon. To me, this sounds like a blood fluke trematode: Schistosoma

      Google this (it should come up as the first hit):

      schistosoma-blood-flukes-pictures-videos

      Let me know what you think.

      WOW! You are amazing!!!!! That sure as heck looks like some of the stuff ive got. You hit it spot on i think! There is, I think, other infestations going on....most of this latest outbreak looks like this. Maybe I can get help. I was about to give up..again. how do i go about talking to my doc? After being dismissed as psychotic mostly, or treated for folliculitis for 20 years, and a couple weeKs ago hit with the quit picking, are you SURE you are not on methamphetamine???, no? well then, its psoriasis. End of conversation routine , . I tried to get bovine ivermectin yesterday , but was told

      I had to have a script. The pictures that look like there is more than one linked together, with little legs on the ghetty pictures site, also looks like what i see when i use a q tip to coax the blighters out. They even jump sometimes onto it, then theytwist the cotton fibers together ( and i think they form a kind of train type thing to make themselves longer) sounds beyond bizarre, right? I sure hope there is . they are also in my hair, ears, nose etc etc. Thank you again for your insight!! IfI get any info, I will keep you posted. Ps. The male is translucent, right?

      Ivermectin is deemed safe and is specifically used to target certain parasites. Also, Ivermectin is prescribed to treat Strongyloidiasis.
