Weird plugs under scabs

[Healermommy]

So in 2011 I started getting weird scabs on my face with stretchy plugs underneath once removed the spot would typically close and more would appear in or near the same area. I have read many posts about morgellons and auto immune diseases that could cause this but the problem for me was never identified so I started self experiments ....tea tree oil burned and helped but did not eliminate the problem my face had sores that looked like cigarette burns ( never drink or use drugs) so in 2017 I tried the miracle hibiclense...finally ..relief . If you are suffering a similar condition this 10 dollar hibiclense is a life saver I applied at night like a lotion in 2 weeks my face was completely healed and now 2024 have not had any other skin problems hope this helps someone

thank you for sharing this. So you just apply it like lotion and leave it on?

Yes I did that and it worked for me no more weird alien scabs

The roller coaster begins when there's skin damage (accidently scratched, etc) - then these plugs develop within the follicles under the scab. The frenzy itching begins and getting the plugs out provides the relief needed. The vicious cycle continues for a long time.

I've just done another batch of blood work - getting results 5 June and on the same day having a biopsy.

My personal research has led me to believe that it is fibrins (protein). There's a specific bacteria (staph aureus) that actually uses the plugs to hide behind - to avoid the immune system from identifying that there is a threat to kill.

I'll look up hibiclense.

Thank you.

Please keep us updated. As I am in mid stream of labs and such as well. So far I've experienced all the negativity from doctors over it. Finally found one that listened and looked at past labs and acknowledged something was being missed. So far lab results confirm autoimmune disease, unsure which, does seem it's lupus. I've had lyme before with treatment. Waiting on labs for that to see if i have somehow been reinfected. This stuff is a nightmare. I want my life back.
