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 experiencing the same problem. I got sent to dermatologist, have been treated with some many medications. My dermotalogist has recently told me it is my mental health and there is now no reason for me me to return to him and need to follow up with my primary Dr. I feel I'm at a loss and I'm embarrassed, starting to second guess if all my doctors are right, its all in my mind. Feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. Please help. Thanks for sharing your story give me some hope.

    Might also be demodex but regardless, have battled this type thing for over two years.

    Check for intestinal parasites - likely cause or part of issue, especially if worms.

    Albendezole with either Ivermectin (or Praziquantel if flat worms or flukes) twice a day until all signs disappear.

    Topical Hydrogen Peroxide works really well for a lot of people. If I get a breakout (rare these days), then I soak all areas with Hydrogen Peroxide at least three times a day.

    It drys skin of course, so exfoliating required in conjunction.

    The glass shards are likely eggs. Very hard to remove as anyone on here knows - well entrenched in deeper layers of skin - the idea is to zap anything BEFORE you get infested to crusted phase. If not, it entails a lot more work, but just never give up.

    You CAN beat this.

      Hi mitee... You said the shards of glass are likely eggs? Do you mean tape worm eggs? I too hv these. They sparkle when the light catches them right. I really think mine is tape worm.

    I want to bring a couple of situations to the forum.. i have no idea if they will help but I know you folks are not crazy... Keep asking questions and looking for people to give straight answers. Don't get hung up on foks driding you or making you feel crazy. It is thrier own ignorance and imbalance about your problem you are seeing. Not a clear reflection of what you are going through.  Keep a journal, and when possible, take digital photos or get someone to do it for you... hard to do without blurring, I know.    A few years ago, I had crawling and biting sensations on my legs and elswhere... I faced the same ignorance you all have faced.  It took a lot of online research and I have eliminated at least part of the problem... bird mites.  Anest had been built outside on the TV cable box and mites were entering the bedroom though the cable hole. We removed the nest, sprayed the area with pyrethrins more than once and put a whirly gig on the cable box to deter any more nests being built.  That eliminated the intense crawing and biting on my legs but what developed either from that infestation or my dog's heavy infection of scabies and fungus is a horrible itching, crawling in my scalp, large red burning itchyspots on my arms mostaly on inside of my elbows and writsts.  To top it off, I have developed pinworms and because I wear a c-pap mask, they are now infesting my nose!  we have a cat but I wash my hands all the time.  I have been to multiple dermatologists and taken pictures with me ( which they ask to keep!) but only say I must have a skin allery!  It appears dermatologist are completely untrained in anything other than the simplest problems and treatments. I am staying with finding treatments but it is like swimming in crystalized honey... not easy. Love to all you fellow sufferers. Keep making noise! Surely eventually someone will hear.

    In addition to 400mg of albendezole every 12 hours, I am finding use of 2% topical clotrimazole synergistically works with albendezole to get rid of skin parasites, and helps speed up healing of skin - fungus issues usually accompanies skin parasite infestations whether from mites, scattering of internal parasites, creeping eruptions, or morgellons.

    2% strength is key, and can be purchased otc in generic 3 Day Vaginal Cream kits available at CVS ("Clotrimazole3" and likely other chains). Usual cost $8-10.

    After cleaning areas, applying some form of alcohol as an astringent, and ensuring skin is completely dry, I also use benzyl benzoate twice a day (25% strength). It is very irritating to skin in general, but has the most immediate impact on skin parasites, and my skin has adapted to its "sting" - only apply BB to dry skin as it's irritating effects are much magnified when it comes in contact with water.

      ...note that I try to apply benzyl benzoate ("BB"wink "at least" a few hours after applying the 2% clotrimazole cream to allow the cream to absorb...

      I also cleanse off the BB once a day using alcohol that breaks up any filler oils so it can be completely rinsed off in the morning, allowing for a "clean pallette" of skin to work with each day.

      one more note - clotrimazole is known to reduce the microsomal sulfonas activity of albendezole, and I apply the cream 4-6 hours before or after taking the albendezole. the "synergism" I refer to is the combination of parasitic elimination with fungus elimination.

    So, i just saw this post from 2 years ago, bet you still have issues, huh?

    Is it, as if, doctors are reading off a script? Delusional parasite s? Mental Illness? Need to see a physiologist? Sound familiar?

    I have been suffering since early 2013, its (in my opinion) a combo for mold, fungus and parasite mutant of sort.

    In 2013 the house we lived in(built on top of toxic waste dump, didnt find out til later) became over ran by black mold(that would move and make faces and designs on walls, very creepy. PS I really am not crazy!

    There were little mushroom things coming out of wall were ac condensation drained(i pluck these same looking things out of my skin to this day!)

    And I feel I hatch things every full moon. And the humidity irratates the issue as well.

    Cant eat meat(especially beef or pork) really to feel somewhat healthy, nothing but fresh or frozen, not can, fruits and vegs.

    Yep, its bad ! The things i have seen and experienced are right off the pages of a horror flick.

    Honestly, if the truth was known, it would probably cause mass hestira. Its a plague, and mankinds stupidid in trying to concour fellow man and dominate is ultimately the cause.

      Everyone should start posting this stuff on fb public with pictures of the damage it does and pictures of the creatures you pull out or that come out!

      Until the public knows of this and starts flooding the doctors offices and health departmens nothing will be done about it. Go to the health department & tell them you need to be tested for something else and then spring it on them after you are seen. The public has a right to know...

      Try and get different types of Bactrim, dentist will prescribe for tooth ache to kill the infection. So go to different ones to try & get 4 to 6 months worth. Then use it straight but switch to every two months to a different one. I had these worms for almost 2 years and took double dose & NOW they are gone but don't take any iron pills or other pills that will dilute the the Bactrim.

      Peace be with you!
