This does not sound like aspergillosis but could be something like ringworm (which is caused by a fungus). Infections of your skin are easy to diagnose by looking at skin scrapings under a microscope. I imagine that may have already been done as you mention that you have seen doctors.

I can't think of an explanation that would involve fungi and which couldn't be quickly diagnosed.

Perhaps there is an biting insect infestation in your home or the area you live?

I can only suggest that you persevere with your doctors advice.

Thanks for the reply.I would like to tell you that no dermatologist (of the 2 I counsulted did the scraping of the skin..The first one looked at the ugly scars of previous "bites" and at the new ones and told me "that's not my "domain"and prescribed a cortison-ointment;this was in august 2012;then I tried again seeing a dermatologist where I didn't have to wait for months to get an appointment,a few weeks ago: she took blood to test on fungal allergy,result : nothing again,,but she mensioned that I was tested only 2 kinds of fungus,beeing the most common ones...I like to inform that also plants on the house started ,a few years ago to show signs of little white lice-like on them and soon after they I could do nothing to save them and to throw them away after a while,every time and I wondered then why I too got stitched ,while touching them..It were all different sorts but each time again it was the same and so I stopped buying plants;1 year later the unexplainable skinattacks came. I also need to mension that since the skin-problems started,I noticed that several items in the house showed little holes,such as : clothes,plastc bags,wooden furniture,leather couch,and even in the tiles on the floor,made of stone,that although regular clleaning,always are covered by a black-coloured dustlike residue and as on every place elsewhere show little black,brown to white mites (?),like the ones on me and my clothes..I hope this can help to give me any advice or lead to finally find out,inspite my depear,even if it means consult abroad ,as in Belgium there are no more options because I tried them all,but further descrptions of all,would take me writing a book !

PS I 've never seen any minor sign of an insect possible and I wish I had,that's the worst part and the cause of my depear,that driving me (after all the deceives and ridiculisations because of unknowledge) in depression.

Hoping and with regards, Anne Van Outrive

I am experiencing exactly what you are describing and is getting worse. I've just had a biopsy and am hoping this will give me some answers. I hope you find some and get well. Good luck x
