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?

    Mine started way longer before I could even see or feel them.And the first thing I noticed was my skin on my face was flushing all around the nose and cheek area.I put it aside as I have Lupus,a butterfly rash.Oh,Lord.Now I have read many of all with this problem have the Drs. Thinking were delusional.Mine was SOO bad in my face I could see these tiny little hairs sticking out my face.I thought oh old age here now I have fuzz,not....Those thin strands would not come out with a tweezer.So I figured I would take it out with a pin,cleaned,when I did it made a trail about a inch long.Yes,painful.tore up my face.Have so many ways of getting rid of them but I have grayish patches on my face,scarring really bad and those light patches are hiding them worms in the making.My Dr. Said it was just skin,to keep moist and be done.I even tried a dermatologist and he did 4 biopsies and gave me Plaquinel which is for Malaria,that almost killed my liver.My RA Dr. Stopped that.So I took all these things I collect and bring them in to another Dr.and he just looked at the bag and didn't even look at the microscope gave me skin cream and said it was a fungal condition.I tell you I was told since my TBI 4 YR'S. Ago that I may now be Paranoid Skitzo.and have delusional parasytosis.They even convinced me to go into a mood stabilizer unit in the hospital and pumped me with 5 different pills and I just couldn't wait to get out of there.And still not one even cares to at least look at these painful critters,yes,I can see tiny claws and some what looks like eyes.I look at mine thru a jewelry scope.They are powerful.They are in different stages,larva,pupil and then the mother lode that holds them together.Ok,this is what I am using I started with Pure Organic Coconut Oil and smothered all over my hair rolled up in a towel overnight,eyebrows as well,they are there.also I use Noxema Medicated Coldcream for face to wash,they will freak out,don't like menthol.Then at night I use Vicks vapor rub.I put it in my eyes and close lightly with a cotton ball.My nostrils and on lips and face.When I have to go out I use the cloth band aids not the middle and stick on where there is a ongoing problem and leave it on over nite.They must breathe,they come up for air get stuck and if you wake during the night touch where the band aids are and if you feel pain then there is one there,put pressure and you will hear a crunch,pop,or just sticky fluid will be on the cloth.When you wake take the sticky band aids off and you will see you won the battle.Only to start a war somewhere else.Oh and please check your outer part of your ears,I had one inside one of the curves and it was so very painful and took weeks to rid it for now,keeper putting Vicks on it then pulling out what I could and do it over and over again.I hate my face,myself,the Drs.I think they don't have a clue of how to begin to help us.But before all these larva was on me I was having strange things popping off my skin,weird things that moved,I can't go there,surely they will want me locked away.I am 58 and never,ever had anything like this in my life ever.Oh,I did have head lice in the 4th grade,lol.I will trade now.....Any new ideas for me?

    Idk if anyone is still following or posting on this thread but I am dealing with many problems that have been posted. Not to long ago I pulled out a worm looking thing that was either in a pore or in/on/around the hair follicle. My problem started as an unusual acne breakout then, after abt 1 1/2 mos of antibiotics it came back -with a VENGEANCE!! After 1 pcp and 3 dermatologist I've been told its acne, epidermal cysts but the icing on the cake was being told its in my head, aka delusional parasitosis. Nothing showed up on 3 or 4 wound cultures, a biopsy, and 13, yes 13 tubes of blood to rule out different diseases. I have gone thru pretty much all conventional products and now I'm working my way thru all the homeopathic remedies. Btw, did I mention that this crap on my face and it's also affected my ears. The only relief I've found for the SEVERE itching and pain is to pick. For obvious reasons it's not one of my brightest ideas but I'm mindful of the saying, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. I won't ramble on abt how this has SEVERELY affected my personal life or the multitude of other symptoms I'm going thru. I just wanted to tell anyone reading this and is going thru something similar that you're not crazy and you're not alone.

      Try blotting toilet paper on your wounds versus picking. If it comes right out...it's probably fungal. Do you have mold in your home or work? Just a thought ??

      Did you take any albenzadole or any kind of worm medication? Because I am about to take my second stool sample and I've seen a dermatologist my regular doctor and an infection disease doctor and none of them believe me. My regular doctor prescribed me the albenzadole only a 10 day supply needless to say they came back because the seeds don't die. They still don't believe me though. The best was today I saw the infection disease doctor you know she said. I'm from India I know about worms. Relax just go home and relax come back into weeks You have a little acne. You don't have diarrhea so you don't have it. I need to find something that will expose these things for my skin do you know of anything that will bring them out?

    Omg I cant believe that someone has the same thing as what I have been going through. This has been going on for a few months and I have the terrible craters in my face and have never had acne before this thought that I was getting awful wrinkles and started to buy all different scrubs and

    Lotions then I started to see lines when I saw white hairs coming out of the lines I tried to pull them out and all of a sudden there appeared more like they were spreading instantly. then when they got sharp white spikes I tried to pull them out and ended up with craters. when holes would start to heal if they broke open little white whatever would ooze out. what the hell is this? I look like hell and have not found any cure. please help!!!

      I have been dealing with similar symptoms for over a year. Finally figured out the cause was black mold toxicity. Look up Dr Jill carnahan, MD from Boulder, CO. I too thought it was a worm and took three months of albendazole. Now I am on my 4th month of Itraconazole, I've changed my diet to eliminate sugar, and I'm trying to start exercising again.

      I'm not discounting parasites or mogellons, just offering another possibility. Just know that the biopsy won't show fungus either so you must find a doc who is willing to try meds and continue due to results, rather than "proof."

      Hi ive had an ongoing drama with my skin. All results come back negative. The lab suggested lishmaniasis to my Dr. My Dr would not entertainthis for some reason.  I think i must have a fungal infection but to get a posative result from a Dr is difficult. For some reason Drs seem to turn quite nasty with myself and others for having a problem that is not easy to treat. My Drs records read like i am some persistant unreasnoble person who goes from one Dr to another. Its very upsetting. My nose is so soar and clearly has fungus in it.  i need to try just to treat it myself.

    We on't have worms, bbut we have something that is crawling and when we look under the microscope we see a ball of fibers  I put it in a jar and it grew and is still growing. Sometimes we feel a poking feeling.  We have done  allot but what seems to help the most is  I made soap and added essential oils that are used to repel bugs and parasite  Also put in wondercide or cidarside and soak in baking soda.  We also use food grade DE.  These little buggers seem to be outside inside my orchard.  Other people here have the same condition, we know because we see dark spots on their skin.

    Hope this helps someone.

      They still may be some type of Parasite. My thought is maybe contacting an agricultural expert. There are so many types of Parasites! I would not open the jar and poke at it either. Some College Agricultural program may have ways to help you figure out what it is. Washington State University might be a good place to start. Or Michigan State University, Oregon State University or the FDA (food and drug administration. What type of plant or tree did you find it on?

      I truly hope you find an answer. I have small dark spots on my skin, I think of them as eggs, a place where they, so to speak, star building a nest under the skin. I wish you good luck.
