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?

Try vinegar all over...
One thing to remember, U need to stop picking & let the wounds heal, Every time u itch, apply vinegar..
Keep your wounds covered with ban aids & change them every day..
Try to keep the moisture on your skin down to a minimum...
Towel off often, changing the towel often too..

I have stopped telling anyone about it because i am tired of the looks of pity and disbelief. Besided, there is nothing anyone without this problem can helo me with.
I won't be seeing another doctor because i am pretty sure at this point i would throat punch him/her when i hear the inevitable "diagnosis" that I am causing this myself.
Pretty sure, also, that NONE OF US WANT TO BE A SIDE SHOW FREAK!
To keep being told that I am causing this will cause me to go crazy; been there, done that, no thank you. It is insulting and condescending and on top of that i have to pay them. Again, no thanks.
It is our own duty to survive; in this strange ailment it is best to keep reading what others have tried.
Good luck to you and may we successfully find our way out of this nightmare. +

Now after having three years I get them constantly in my nose once in a while in my mouth I’ll pick 23 inch worms out of my mouth and I cough them up regularly I have cysts . You know what my family doubts me at times at times I think they believe me but after having us three years and all the s**t I’ve been through with other people I have not given it to anyone purposely. And I’m a very vindictive person I ran out of options I just took a stool sample about a month ago I put All liver flukes in about 100 seeds from my pork worm and it came back Negative I laughed nothing much left to do these things are gonna kill me If anybody has any ideas let me know thank you

Phil,
IF you have a pork tapeworm (taenia sagnita) or beef tapeworm (taenia solium), they migrate to organs (including skin), and Praziquantel is THE med that is most widely prescribed for treatment. Dosage/Frequency is important. Seems like 3 times per day at 25mg/kg weight is common but debate over that (some profess higher levels required eg. 50mg/kg
Tapeworm segmentation is reasonably easy to identify and unique to taenia - typically white (or off-white), the segments can be numerous dep on age, but most often one gets only pieces of segments. regardless, look up photos and you will see examples and segments taper down in size near one end. Each segment carries a LOT of microscopic eggs or ovum. Requires a clean high quality scope at 100X plus power to view, but is either round or oval shaped, with golden or brown outer "ring" (not smooth but instead has symetrical grooves equally spaced all around the ring), and has a round or oval center - look up photos - If you ingest the larvae and get infected, it's called Taeniasis and infects only intestines. If you ingest the eggs and get infected, it's called Cysticercosis - this form of infection migrates to organs and is potentially more dangerous if let untreated.
Assume you don't have either BUT getting a CoAg-ELISA diagnostic test for is start point. An informed GI doc will tell you in sometimes takes multiple tests to catch these and imaging is added for Cysticercosis.

Praziquantel also prescribed for flukes, however newer meds showing greater results if resistance involved
