Worms in the Face

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 doing the tissue thing rubbing back and forth exposes what is underneath all the scabs. Or whatever on your face. I found tons of shards of something in my skin when I pull them out the look like big winged sharp white bugs.

      Donad, what tissue thing are you referring to? What do you rub the skin with? Was wanting to try this ASAP. Thanks so much in advance for any info.

      You take a common tissue and go over your face area by area and layers of skin come off easily. Revealing for me other issues clearly instead of using picks and tweezers. Use your pointer finger and push down with pressure with the flat part of the tissue.

    I realize that this is an old post but I have found it because I have exactly what you were describing my face looks horrific and it’s even in my lips and I also have been told it’s a secondary infection. Have you found any relief or anybody that believes you?

      Guys whatever u do be careful what u use on your skin.. some of the suggestions used here will burn your skin.

      My suggestion for guys, if u have this in your hair area, shave all your hair off bald & apply iodine to it overnight when u sleep.

      I sleep on towels i change every night, with a sheet i change every night. I change everything on my bed once a week on top of that.

      Girls i cant help u for the head area with all your hair, sorry.

      For any other areas i apply iodine everywhere on my body & just paint it on wherever its itchy.

      I also use a cap full of iodine in the wash with my clothes... put it in first so it dilutes with the water otherwise it will stain.

      While using these techniques i haven't got rid of it but i have got rid of 95% of the pussy pimples that feel like they have stuff crawling in and out of & i sleep ok at night now.

      Apply the iodine as much as u want wherever u want it wont hurt u although you will need to put clothes over the top to stop u staining things.

      Ive been suffering for nearly ten years and this is the best i got.

      Im going to say its bacterial or viral.

      Ive done all the parasite stuff & ive used enough fungal cream to kill the world.

    Im going to throw this out again.

    I had a flu shot yesterday so this is day 2 & all the symptoms i had been having seem to have subsided.

    Now i don't wanna get anyones hopes up including my own but i'll come back everyday for 2 weeks if i can & keep u all updated..

    I dont know whats in the flu shot that may have cleared this but this now stears me in the direction that this was a viral infection after all..

    I took heaps of antibiotics for bacterial infections and nothing worked.

    I took lots of pills and used lots of creams for a fungal infection & nothing worked

    I took lots of parasite meds & nothing worked

    I even tried a few of the crackpot methods i found on this page (WHICH NOW I CAN SUGGEST U NOT DO)

    Stay in the bounds of modern science otherwise you could do yourself some serious harm.

    If u cant get it from a chemist, then don't do it!

    Ill keep you informed on my progress, wish me luck.
