Oh so sorry that you are having to deal with this, I don't know what these are but I hope someone here can help.
Look up ‘carpet tack sign’-if you think this is what you’re seeing it is likely discoid lupus.
Why do they remind me of the bulb on a hair follicle? Do you Know? Its like the bulbs except these can grow can be tiny or as big as a half inch long oh yeah and clusters of the slime... But yeah bulb like on hair root you know except for these you can see peering out or even sticking out even further when they die off or whatever they do and there loose to where you can grab em and then the wound will heal its a nightmare doctors are baffled its insane there mot to baffled or they'd use the tools to find out I'm trying to get on talk shows if I got too im running out of time this seems internal too ive been infected for over decade my life has been ruined
I suffer from this as well for the last 3 years. It is hellish.
Hello fellow sufferer. I've been dealing with the dig, pull and bleed since 2010. I'm in St. Louis Missouri. I would like to ask you some questions about your case and offer some advise based on your answers. I have made some break throughs and would like to share them with all that will listen. 314 600 0573.
I have the exact same problem and from the research I've done I went to the doctor and they said it was MRSA or staff infection but the antibiotics they were giving me seem to be making them worse. After looking around I found something called malassezia. Look that up and see if it matches the symptoms some of you guys are having it matched all of mine it was the only one that matched all of mine it's been so miserable and God forbid I get one on the face of my butt cheek I just don't think I could go through it after 2 years of absolute hell. I'm not sure how old these posts are I haven't really looked but if you are still available I would love to talk to somebody else that has the same thing to see any tricks you've learned or I could do the same because as you know these aren't like a pimple pop it and it goes away
I know it's a strange question, but it was my starting point to recovery. I noticed a difference in were the infections would occur as the season changed over the course of a year.
my blood test came back positive for mrsa too
Yes thats what i think it is! I have talked to a dr that suggested this but have had no biopsies done . They seem to clear up with oral antifungals , but never 100% goes away. I think me having mrsa ( lies dormant most of the time and then rears its ugly head from time to time to complicate things. )dr says its almost like having athletes footaka ring worm aka jock itch , all the same thing . But its different kind of candidia because its a yeast….i get my flare ups mostly on my face near my nose on my cheeks, chin, behind my ears , sometimes on upper back or fore head. Every once and a while i will get one on my gluteus maximus! Just one with cluster of plugs. That one is always the easiest one to go away. malassezia Is hard to get rid of completely. But you can get it in your teeth , under your fingernails , and it gets worse when you wear tighter clothing and get overheated or dehydrated or from even sweating! Weird cause sometimes i think im allergic to my own sweat! Lol . Anyway that dr i talked to said to take oral antifungals and to wash and dry the affected areas with soap and warm water , dry areas and apply a skin barrier or some over the counter anti fungal cream . There are special shampoos for this as well as toothpastes to help them go away. But he suggested trying photo light therapy which he said seems to help a lot for a lot of skin conditions. He also suggested taking a daily vitamin , one with zinc, vitamin D , and iron. Sugar and dairy products can aggravate this candidia as well. I have had the oral antifungals but they are hard on your stomach. Thinking about them makes me nautious.
hey i just got this whats up
hey i just got this whats up
Hi, glad to finally hear from you. I've been posting about my experience with these plugs and sharing my findings. I start with what type of detergent do you clean your clothes with? Does it have blue or green dye tint color. Do you get the plug infections where your clothes rub your skin? The detergents in question would be products like tide, era or gain. These seem to be related to this condition. I've been dealing with it for 14+years and I only started getting better once I realized it was the detergent causing the plugs. I have several posts talking about my experience so if you have time check them out. I hope this will help, your story moved me to start posting. I'm sorry this happened to us and I hope this helps you get better.

thank you and were can I find your videos or posts ? I use tide powders
I don"t have any videos, and all my posts are on this page. I tried the tide powder too, and it was a fail as well. My thinking at the time was to use the same stuff that I used as a kid. I'm having great results with Earth breeze washing sheets. My theory is that the detergent is whats causing these plugs. I was getting the plug infections where my clothes rubbed the most. My face would get infected from washing with the towels that had been washed in the detergent. One winter, I got plug infections on the tops of my toes, I normally wear flip flops, but in the winter I've got socks on and bam. This was another epiphany moment for me. I had been wondering why my toes were itching and burning whenever I wore socks. The amount of moisture on the skin facilitates the absorption of the chemicals. My bicep area of my arm would get infections in the summer from my short sleeve shirts and in the winter I would get the same infections on my wrist and forearms from wearing long sleeve shirts. If I wore wife beater t-shirts, I would get infections on my shoulders and around my chest. I'm pretty much cleared up now except a spot on my nose that is at the hard skin healing stage. Even after I found a laundry cleaner that didn't infect me, it has still taken some time to get completely out of my system. I'm happy to hear from you and I hope this helps. Time line: red bump, white plug, host of plugs in a circular pattern, hole in skin, hard plastic like skin with plugs attached, hard plastic scab, healing scab, permanent scar? Sound familiar? If I'm talking about something different I'm sorry I have wasted your precious time and I wish you the best. But, from the pics you up loaded I thought it was the same thing. Good luck on your healing.
Mate, you type like an Aussie.
I’m 2 years in and it’s affecting my heart and breathing. I’m using the natural detergent and always have due to a septic tank. Natural soap on my skin, tea tree, you name it.
You nailed the timeline, but missed the underlying tissue atrophy.
Here’s some close ups from 10 mins ago from my arm. Mental.
Be careful, if you see these too, you’ll be sharing my “delusions”. Thanks for that doctors!
Nothing works, I’m so over it.

thank you and were can I find your videos or posts ? I use tide powders
Hello. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION. All my family member and I have this issue. It's destroyed my life and have had dozens of mis diagnosis. FINALLY, I'm on a medication called "POSACONAZOLE" anti fungal oral medication. 3 tablets daily @ 100 MG/per pill. Also fluconazole cream, and shampoo helps slightly.
Apparently my body produces too much yeast and the malassezia builds up and causes infections. I've had it for 30-40 years with it building layer after layer of hard white plugs. Open ulcers all over my body.
It's been 2 months now and about half of my sores have finally healed after being open wounds for years....
It's. "Very slow" healing process and personal surgery is required to remove the "HARD WHITE GROWTHS" once they come to the surface. You'll eventually see "red flesh" instead of "white stuff" and that shows progress. It eventually starts breaking the "seeds" down and they become pinkish fleshy balls that also need removed.
I've been accused of doing drugs that cause itching, accused by "bosses" that they are concerned about my scars thinking they are needle tracks, lost friends, absolutely "NO" social life cause of embarrassment, tried covering scars with tattoos but the sores were too painful to cover, have felt like "ending my life" for soooooo long...... anyways, "YOUR NOT ALONE"..
Hopefully you can get on this medication ASAP....
SPREAD THIS INFORMATION TO HELP OTHERS. GOOD LUCK
Thankyou 🙏🥰 I had a severe case of thrush which was candidiasis that's when my skin issue appeared even though they cleared up my ears nose and throat my body still get covered in these things and I always felt tired and sick. I think you maybe right thankyou
Hey how did u come to this lupus thing ???
Hey dunno why that reply went to u me bad homie. Was tryna ask ol'lupus comment about.
🤣ole lupus LoL 🤣🤣🤣
Don't get stuck on that, I don't think its lupus. I hate getting influenced on thinking its something that it isn't don't you. 😒
Man I have legit the same exact thing I have for about two years now under every scab I get which scans just seem to form anymore it’s jnreal you must remove them and they’re painful but itchy they bleed perfusivly for a second and then stop. They’re typically in a circular formation and are very hard to get out. When you take them or they dry up instantly it’s so wierd . I think they’re parasites of some form to be honest
The part about bleeding profusely is right on. Like instantly a stream dripping off you. Then as quick as it started it just stops on its own.
Did you find out what it is?
I also have developed whatever this is. My apologies for replying before actually reading the thread in it's entirety. I became overwhelmed with relief to actually finding another person on this planet that openly admitted to what this garbage and having it. Literally almost passed out with the weight lifting off my face & scalp... Thanks to God above for allowing this whole moment to transpire for promote change in my wellness & life now!
I’ve been dealing with this exact same thing for 6 years and every doctor I’ve been too keeps saying eczema and that is not what that is
Yeah me too over a decade we gotta figure this out I'm telling you something wrong inside our bodies causeing this . I've lost everything and had enough!! Before I do domething crazy im putting in all I got even if I have to go public talk shows I will damn sure try! I hope your ok . Dont give up and dont ignore it if you wanna live a full fulfilling life. It killing me. Bad sh*t. 10 years ago no info on this at all. The only thing i could find ten years ago was thing called bovine digital dermititis lol yeah so now theres alot of folks coming Forward like crazy !! This is weird. Im not running out of hope just yet 😣😮💨
I have had this for years. Every scab same thing. Little white plugs some come out, on the scab other stay in typically.typically.in a circular formation. Pulling them out is the only way but in the epocess non returnable damage is dondone. When removed they bleed hard-core for a second when pulled out it may be one of the best feelings kknown tto man. When they are just about pulled out it's like they try and suck back in like a bor fly. When pulled out they dry up.up.iup.up.instanup.up.iup.up.instantly. no inner guts or anythint.anything. I think it's a parasite. Or maybe a symptom of fungus or who the he'll knows. I do know it's real and has effected me from a-a-z in my. Body
You said it! Just likes botfly !! Amen!! 🙏 I'm getting so tired of not getting answers it's been 13 years what's scary is 10 years ago I found nothing no forums like this nothing at all but bovine digital dermatitis I'm not accepting morgellons! Nope. Gotta be something known like candidaisis
What is this called
How are you today? Has anything improved or changed?
I think ur on to sumn w that parasite usage my guy. U think maybe it's a pin worm ?
Me too I believe it is Morgellans. Get tested for lime.
Look up nodular prurigo I have just been diagnosed it sounds like this.
Thank you I’ve looked this up and I do have Kidney failure and have been on dialysis most my life and am anemic my dr thinks this is what I have for sure along with build of of keratin. I can’t thank you enough now just waiting for test to come back to confirm it. Is there anything that has helped get rid of PN?
I am not having much success at the moment but it seems there are lots of things to try until you find something that helps. My dermatologist has just changed my treatment so will keep you updated on any improvement !!!
It doesn't seem to be it 😣
Okay yeah I just ordered emuaid Max my dr said to give it a try I let you know I how it works my biopsy from last week hasn’t come back yet but I’ve done so much research into P.N. Since you mentioned it an my dr thinks that that may be what it is actually I really appreciate you taking the time to comment honestly I’ve been so hopeless with my skin sores and I know I have skin cancer but theses sores are different I’ve tried so many thing from wart cream and steroid cream antibiotic cream nothing helps but I am like 100 percent it’s not a parasite
Did you get a diagnosis?
emuaid Max didn’t help me at all. Very expensive too.
Morgellans
Hey there, I have a similar issue going on. My dr thinks that I am halfway to the mental ward. Do the nodules or plugs ever cluster or develop underneath your skin?
Yes
Its demodex. We all have them. They eat our sebum and dead skin. Looks like you have an overgrowth. It can be treated with tea tree oil, sulphur, or ivermectrin (antibiotic).
This has been my prognosis as well, for some time now.
I am going to disagree with you on that. I've been all over with my microscope and jewelers loupe. It's definitely not demodex.
yes it is ...its like a house of the stuff they puke up and it makes collarettes on the hair over the bulb and after awhile they fill up with skeletons and egg casings and etc etc...looks like rice causes inflammation and hurts like hell
It can't be demodex you can actually see these ... they're white some larger than others but your not supposed to see demodex with the naked eye its not demodex cant be unless its a species that evolved 🤷
It could be yeast which over population or infestation of the demodex can cause on skin and scalp.
You cant see demodex unless you gotta a microscope though..... Ohhh ... These you can see we see them there white slimy splinters lookin sh*t life ruiners demodex isn't it it can't be again cause it cant be demodex cause we can see whatever these are but with demodex you cant see with your eyes without a microscope 😓
Have you looked into Malassezia ?
Yes
Omg!!!! This has been happening to me for the last year. I didn't know what to think or do I honestly didn't think anyone else was going through this everyone that I have tried to explain this condition to thinks I'm crazy 😐😔
Yeah 😥
Yeah 😥
I've noticed many people acquired it in 2017. It's the only common denominator I can gleen from this chat.
I had something last year that acted like shingles so I was Valtrex, an anti viral. Well it started clearing up the monstrous plugs, but I only had a few pills for the shingles, so I'm back where I was. Oddly enough they biopsied the alleged shingles and test came back NOT shingles. Unknown. This is a clue. I just don't have the science education to do anything with that info.
We continue researching in hell.
Awww goodness, I feel your pain. The research in hell continues................stay tuned
Felicia, what's your take on the poster that mentioned Fluke worms?Scary as hell, but I did buy a microscope and........Holy hell. Please don't let it be that!
Can you take any photos with your microscope thing? I'll admit I looked up them blood flukes lol these don't move not that I can see anyway with my eyes. I notice they do not dissolve in water very easily. I've got like 10 of them that arent attached to anything like scabs, no skin tissue just these white slimy bastards thats it , in a vile and I found a woman at a university on youtube that a takes samples thru the mail to investigate what it is. I have trust issues but its worth a shot. I'm freakin out. 😳
Could you give me this persons info ? I really need her help . I’ve seen so many dermatologist and they’re not helping at all and not taking me seriously.
I hadn't found it yet I found her on YouTube not sure if she even does it anymore I'm still looking through thousands of videos in my history and I just got my account back a couple weeks ago. Sorry I've been consumed with life. I'm almost giving up with this
PRURIGO NODULAIRE,
I'm having very much difficulty WALKING, HURTS SO DAMN MUCH .... Very weak and brittle,tired energy is completely gone. I'm goin to have no choice but to go find a drug dealer and get on some crack cocaine or crystal meth, Adderall or something to get out of the darkness and out of bed....I'm dead to the world ........ can't hold down a job!!!!!! No quality of life at all I've lost it all .......if I had it in me to do it I'd kill myself cause what the fucks the point. Yep, goin to whitepages or google find me a dope dealer .....I cant afford speed ,lost everything due to some kinda illness thats changed my body in and out... .,😭🤒🤧🥵🤕😩😫😣🥵😳😓😓😓😓😓😓😓............................ to be continued
Girl ya gotta hang on. At least we are no longer alone.
Felicia,I want you to know that I too had the cops called on me while I was at the Dr.s office. The cops went to my job and I lost my job over this skin crap!
Yes, I've spoken to attorney and have no case. Very disheartening. I even worked in the medical field, a professional position. I had a wonderful reputation and I am no spring chicken. This skin crap has destroyed my life.
Its more than skin issue though right its not cosmetics its painful im having organs failing me n everything alot of restlessness not myself havent been me body changes . Of course im depressed who wouldnt be this is insane I wanna live. Your right about not being alone now cause 10 years ago I couldnt find a soul on jere or about whats happening to me. So I'm grateful thankyou for reminding me🙏🥰

Im sorry no m9re no more
Im so sorry your goin thru this... Next time don't let the cops find you... 😏
Its destroyed me too , just keep your mind focused try not to loose your mind and comedy helps , I find comedy and music are the only medicine I've found so far that helps in 12 years of searching for what this is . 😮💨 I HAVEN'T LOST HOPE. DOCTORS GOTTA CATCH UP OR SCIENCE you know what im sayin lol 🤣
Exactly like you I thought I was getting crazy I even thought about the gale at lice of fleas I saw several doctors nothing to do I took my children away from home. Sold the parquet the carpet I changed my bedding.My body was injured to scratch me, I couldn't put a t-shirt all summer I was very depressive I met a dermatologist who diagnosed after several laboratory tests a nodular prurigo that could be caused by an emotional shock and that this disease was rare or little diagnosed. medicine continues the research but there is no definitive treatment, sometimes the symptoms disappear, they can reappear a few weeks a few weeks a few months or years later without explanation, However, having a diagnosis is, for me, the beginning of healing because the worst is not to know anything what causes other diseases such as depression, stress and other disorders Kees confidence and stops the microscope it serves for nothing especially avoids Google lens... Drugs are a scourge I speak knowingly it is a scourge and a financial abyss that leaves you in the dark without being able to find the strength to treat you. You are an important person though you can think because the drug doesn't let you think properly it's a fatigue disease It's well you're worth living so you're going to do it what you do by responding in this forum is also generosity Share your discomfort you can others and finally find a way out for yourself it's possible then even if it's not going to continue to give news
I don't know you but I understand you so much I understand you so much and I understand you so much I am sincere I don't know you but I wish you a lot of courage and happiness I want to specify that this is my personal diagnosis that it looks like the photos I just saw but that I am not a doctor and that I am very much advice to go to a dermatologist and especially not to rely on what I write on this forum Only a doctor can help you
thankyou 😏
I really really appreciate you from my heart to yours thankyou 🥰 and much love to you and your family ☺️
Mine happened in 2011
its demodex debris
Demodex ? No ,how so,thought you couldnt see demodex without a microscope? These are big enough to see the slimy bas*ards 😢
I’m thinking this slimy shit could be Malassezia biofilm … did you ever take antibiotics or topical or oral steroids for a new reason?
Yes antibiotics and contracted a thrush so bad it almost killed me they cleared my throat ears and nose but I still felt sick tired and these things in my skin pores.
Thank you
Do research on demodex,you cannot see demodex without a microscope. If you have what everyone is complaining about them its not demodex. Can't see demodex with the naked eye. Tee tree oil doesn't effect it. This is systematic I believe. And hey do you smoke?!
I have this with acne that started with a birth control definitely being part of it but not all. It's something weird.
Hormones of some type of issue or thyroid? I got diagnosed recently hyperthyroidism but yet I've gained weight not lost and doctor was confused 😢😣
Same here
Yes I have the same thing. I have not gone to the doctor yet. I actually have multiple different objects I have found on or under my skin. Some are thread worm like and I have the sake blood eater things you have and it socks because none of my cuts will heal! All my cuts will not heal unless I remove these white blood suckers from the wound first but then more show up so actually it takes a few rounds before I can get my wound to heal. What would normally take a week now takes a month at least. I have a couple little scabs that have been around for 3 months. Every time I remove those things they come rite back. They are living within my blood stream I believe. And thats how they travel to a cut when I hurt myself. I feel like I'm infested and past the point of no return.
I seem to have to fight mine off a bit longer... More like battles lasting upwards of year or more at some cases...
If you go to a regular doctor and even most dermatologists they will tell you it is nothing and that you are causing this by picking. Then they tell you you need to see a psychiatrist. If you can find a doctor who specializes in parasites you will get more help. However they are few and far between. I have been going through this for four years!
Morgellons Disease
I am experiencing this exact thing..
I am also. You are not alone. It just feels like it. In reality, there is a growing number of folks online speaking out
I wish that it was possible for everyone who has this issue to state their stats.. like age, sex, area of residence, (to determine if it's outdoor related) health diagnosis, It's sort of funny though. It's my idea and I don't want to even do this. I don't want to put my health history/information public out there. But I do want to get together and figure this out together since we are all struggling to. But it just sucks. My own idea but even I don't want to do it. Not fully honestly at least.but I think if we all put information out there maybe we can figure out what we have in common. Like I wonder if my bad immune system, from hep c, has anything to do with it, I think I have oral candida (at least)
I know there's gotta be some connection.
I don't really think it has anything to do with environment as I moved locations and still have it but honestly I moved from country area to country area so idk.
The only people who understand are the ones who are afflicted. It's such a frustrating misunderstood condition. Best of luck to you though. <3
I was thinking of making a Facebook page for us. I have a question I’d love to ask everyone somehow is do we all use opioid’s? I’m about to detox and telling myself this will go away when I do but I doubt it. This started for me all at once literally overnight 6-7years back. The only weird thing that day was I cut wood with no shirt on and I had a few sebaceous cysts. This all started where the cysts were. I had had cysts for years before and this replaced them. The scaring and daily pain makes me want to give up some days. I beg for someone to figure this out. Doctors don’t help. And nobody believes when you say doctors don’t help.
Nope no opoids
You ever have candida( thrush)?
I have had the white spikes on my scalp since 2019. I feel like I’m infested with parasites. I have white spikes on my scalp they itch and the only relief I get is when I scrap them off with my nail and then they make a “crunchy sound” when I scrap them off and it’s instant relief.
However they come right back minutes later. I looked up Morgellens disease and it sounds closest to what I’m experiencing. I’ve been to my dermatologist and they prescribed MUPIROCIN ONTMENT and Clinda myosin topical and they didn’t help. When I brush my hair they’re are fibers and as embarrassing as it is I believe they’re coming out of my butthole as well. I’m going to my naturopathic dr tomorrow because I believe I’m having a nervous breakdown from stress in general. I’ll see what he tells me about the white spikes/parasites.
I would like to add that I was incarcerated in 2015 and I remember them taking my blood. (Not saying that’s where it same from) but has anyone else been incarcerated that suffers from this issue
Or
Has a broken tooth?
Ever had candida ? Trush?yeast? Or any mold in the house you live?Dampness? Cause that mold hides behind panaling n shit 6pu cant see in till you go looking I found so much mold .
I know you were not speaking to me.. but I think I have candida. There's like a home test you can do, where they say to get a clear glass of water and at night spit in it and in the morning see if your spit is stringy if it is , it's candida. (Spelling?) And sure enough mine was stringy. Also I've seen it said that someone tongue being discolored could also be a sign of candida. And my to gue has been greenish for years now. I have definitely pondwred candida being connected. Also I live somewhere different now from where I lived before, so I don't really think it has much to do with my location. Though at my original home there was indeed mold. Where I live now there is not, but I still got the problem. OH MY GOSH lmao I just saw that you too replied to me and said that it could still be environmental despite me moving. Oh my gosh I had no idea you messaged me! Hold on I'm going to read it all..Wow okay... I'm not sure what all I said on here before. So I'm probably repeating everything I've already said so I'm sorry that isn't my intention. You asked about smoking. Yes. I smoke. Newport 100's menthol. To be exact.
Someone above said something about scraping their white white spikes off their scalp and it makes some crunching sound...
I can't relate. Not to that. First and foremost these things can't be scraped off with a fingernail. Rather they are very secure inside the follicle inside the wound. And to get it out, I have to loosen them with a needle kind of gently move it go around its circular frame and try to loosen it. Then when it can freely move, then I can pluck it. And if anything, there is more of a very light kind of popping sound, idk it's so hard to describe. You don't always hear it but sometimes you can. I e never heard any kind of crunching sound though. And mine are super secure and it's impossible for me to get out with a fingernail. So I don't think my issue is the same as the person who said that.
I also smoke menthol 100s Sonoma 🤔 hmmm how about staph and I'm definitely thinking candidaisis but whats odd is my blood test didnt show fungal only like 3 organism of staph im still going and getting more tests
exactly as you described is me too..... I noticed if I sleep my life away they aren't showing up I have to be careful not to cut or scratch myself. wherever theres a injury they appear hey i bet even internal injury's they may pop up of course its internal so we'll never know but i broke my knee bone and its taking forever to heal.....
Yes! It's pinworms and they don't want to believe it could b in your skin. But I have it right now. Bn going thru this for a year. I have bn to 6 different ERs and have seen an infectious disease dr 4 times, pcp 5 times, 2 dermatologist (one who laughed at me while I cried), and the list goes on! No one can sit and just let this happen to them. I have lost my hair. I'm really too depressed for words.
I want to apologize for only now seeing your comment. I've really lost faith in getting *A* answer. I feel like everyone says it's something different. It's demodex. It's fungal. It's PN. It's parasitic... On and on and on it goes. No ONE answer.I had the plug samples tested. They claimed that it showed it was not fungal and it was not parasitic.
I say claim because I just struggle to believe it. Unless it could be bacterial.
I really REALLY love your idea about a Facebook group. That would feel far more safe and private. Like I said, I want to be completely open to help others, but there's just some stuff I don't want visible to the world.
I will try to answer your question though.
In 2007 I started using opioids. In 2010 I started going to a methadone clinic. I left the clinic in 2013, lasted 17 days, and began using heroin. I, thank God, was able to start going back to the clinic... I can't remember if it was 2016 or 2017. But I believe it was 2017 when I began developing this ... This hellish skin problem... When I began the clinic back then, I continued to use for a maybe two months max... Currently I still go to a methadone clinic. I do not use other opioids. There's a lot of other stuff I want to be honest about... I just can't here though. But can you imagine how awesome it would be if we all could be honest about our sex,age,location, all health problems/diagnoses (spelling?) It would be awesome if we could figure out a common thread. It's so incredibly frustrating and isolating. Because in real life, quite literally NO ONE understands, and NO ONE understands the severity of it, physically and mentally. The only time I feel not alone is right here on here or other sites where people admit to this. It never ends. It just goes from one spot to another to another, literally anywhere I have an open wound. Currently I have two large scabs, and I know both are full of the plugs, as I call them. I'm amazed that you can remember when you first got it and your skin issue at that time... To the best of my knowledge I don't think I am familiar with sebaceous cysts. I was a "picker" for years, so I'm familiar with my body and skin. Never did I have this issue. But it was around 2017 , was when I removed a scab and for the first time saw the gelatin like white plug protruding from the back of it. I was taken aback, very unfamiliar with such a thing. Oh but after that, I became VERY familiar with it. Because it has never stopped. Never ended. I've literally been dealing with it non stop. If I got bit by a mosquito, and itch like anyone else would, I get the plugs, it I cut myself, I get the plugs, every wound has it. I don't know why I am emphasizing this like you don't know what I am talking about lol I guess I forget who I'm talking to and forget I'm not talking to people like I do in real life who don't understand at all. They think they do, til I show pictures. Been to ER, several doctors, dermatologist, no answers. No one answer. ER said infection. Dermatologist said epithelial buds, no one else had any idea. If it was something "normal" and part of our body, then every mf would have it right? But no one except us have it. Although I am not opposed to thinking it could be something normal but infected thus maybe why it ends up filling follicles and protruding. Man I can't tell you enough how legit great your idea is
What do you think you would title it? Because like skin issues is too vague and would bring millions of people, can you imagine trying to be specific though..? "Facebook group for people with wounds with constant, white, itchy, painful, gelatin like, protruding, follicular plug" LMFAO I mean shoot.. what else could you do? Like I personally would prefer it's only for people like us with this issue I wouldn't want to weed through people with other random skin issues. But I think you are onto something with the group. Because I have a Facebook page with a nickname/... Fake name... So I'd be open AF there. I'd share all my health issues that I don't feel safe saying here. Even though I have a fake name here.. idk what the difference is lol. Anyways I'm really in favor of your idea. Like immensely. I've got lots of pictures of my problem I could share too. I do want to sincerely apologize. I'm so sorry I'm like 4 months or something late replying. I just haven't been back to this site for a while. I don't know about you but this is a depressing game to play. I go through spurts of looking about about it. Because I've done it sooo many times, read the same multiple answers repeatedly. And it's just truly a draining process. Because I never ever get clarity only more possibilities and more questions. Sigh.
hey you lol you can be completely honest here , don't be afraid hell im using my real name and picture and I just dont giva damn.. nobody can judge you !!! You know who you are and fuck everybody else they dont know shit!! Im here for you!!!❤️

Hey Gang, Jill here. Going on 5 years. A blogger on here had mentioned GMO. Think about it. GMO chemicals produce indestructible crops/rooting systems.
Oh yes. I think he's on to something.
HOWEVER, what triggers it? How do we get it out of our body.
It's using our own bodies make-up; protein, keratin, collagen etc so it's undetectable as a foreign toxin in lab work. It shows NOTHING.
I think we're about 25 years ahead of a formal diagnosis or cure especially if FDA has to get involved.
Keep the info flowing.
Still in hell,
Jill
my blood tests came back for staph it got into my bloodstream
Wow. Ditto ditto ditto. 😔
Hey, Here's an answer. laundry detergent. Do you use a detergent that has blue or green dye in it? Tide, Era, Gain or a similar product? Tide was my first culprit. In 2010 I started getting these plugs. First inner thighs, then bicep region of my arms, chest, shoulders and depending on the season even top of my toes. Everywhere my clothes rubbed or sweat would collect, infections. You are totally correct in assuming that these are infected and mutated hair follicles. My theory is the chemical in the detergent gets absorbed in the follicle through sweat and contact(bra strap, waist band,etc.) and we are the lucky ones to have the skin sensitivity that reacts this way. I have never had on on the bottom of my feet or my palms or finger tips, only where hair grows. It's been almost 15 years since my first dig, pull and bleed. I'm not covered in scabs anymore, I'm not embarrassed to take off my shirt anymore, I'm actually healing and I can see the end of this thing. I'm nursing my last hard skin stage spot on my nose and I don't have anymore developing. I use earth breeze washing sheets to clean my laundry, its just a white sheet of washing detergent devoid of any heavy perfumes or dyes. This is the only solution I have to offer because it's what worked for me. Rewash everything with water and vinegar, then use a detergent that is as weak as you can find or order some earth breeze online. It doesn't work over night. It takes a couple a weeks before you start see some results, but right away you will notice your clothes won't feel as abrasive. If you don't believe me, good, this experience has made me cautious of everything as well(ie. the jab). I started out, like most of us, thinking morgellons or some bacterial infection that starts in the lungs. I had to start using an inhaler because I was having an asthma like reaction to this condition. Please take time to consider this as a starting point to your healing and recovery. Much luv my fellow sufferer and get well soon.
I had the most severe case of thrushthey wouldnt help me till i was almost dead ears nose and throat candida i was pregnant thar happened 2011 now im suffering still!! These plugs and hair moving on its own and surgerys for gall bladder removed didn't helphad etc to many symptoms to name off but wonder if candida is linked
black vine thing growing along with brown thing attached to a white rope
It could still be environmental ,you still have symptoms even though you moved cause its circulating in the body and you aren't expelling it out when you pee like a healthy person would. You must be immune compromised like I was and now I stay that way even though I'm not pregnant anymore. Ive had it for 13 years and getting worse and have other parts inside going bad its ravishing me inside and Out. I had mold , fungi,and slime mold growing in my home hidden. Thats just a fact ,not saying thats what it is. Its just something needs mentioned. Do you smoke cigarettes? I would appreciate you answering if you would about smoking I'm trying to ask everybody. If your curious to know why ill tell you when you answer back but my fingers hurt I've been researching and writing alot. Thanks 😊 oh yeah I had oral thrush too! So Bad almost killed me got it while I was pregnant with our first son in 2011 thats when all this started for me. Doctors didnt know or acted like they didnt know my ex took me to hospital after hospital and they gave antibiotics to get me out there office! Which fed the shit!! Helping the fungi (thrush);to grow. So bad I was sleeping standing up ,I couldn't rat or drink water!! It was in my ears nose and esophagus! They thought for sure it was in the brain did a scan and cleared me thank god it didnt reach my brain or I wouldnt be here to tell you the horror. Felt like millions of fire ants stinging the inside of my nose !! Id rather have my leg snapped in half or my arm cut off then deal with that thrush bullshit again!! I didn't know thats what I had I was loosing my mind ! I could not believe they didn't know they didnt care! They only tested me for strep throat ! They didnt do shit when that hospital told me it was thrush finally I couldn't believe it !! Soething well known I was starting to thing it was an alien invasion lol fr!! This hospital helped me thank God only cause i was half dead when I was drug in there by my Dad! I was pregnant too!!!I was toxic as well he had to be born 5weeks early. Preclamptic.
Morgellons Disease for sure
I agree, however my fibers are white, and it doesn’t mention the white spikes on the scalp.
Least yours on scalp I got 5hem everywhere!! But my legs and privates don't. Weird huh everything above the pelvis had one on my butt cheeks one time had this for 12years
White hard spike,plug whatever and it bled like a b7tch in heat LOOK ITS GOT FANGS
Out of curiosity have you ever dropped like a scab or the blood from a booboo land on good skin and create another sore?
No but they do spread its best to try your best not to fu*k with it. Its hard to do when they itch like hell and they dont heal unless the white slimy pos are pulled out ... 😣😢😓
Have you found answers yet ? Please 🙏if you do or ever do share it.
Well what is it.... because I've been searching for 2 years and it's not an everyday issue it seems. There's a handful of people that photograph these sacs of who knows what but are not able to get to the bottom of what it is.
I live in Louisville Ky. Where do you live if I may ask please.
Meigs county Ohio,well Portland, Ohio by ohio river
Central Illinois
Exactly its very much pis*ing me off cause Im positive I'm dieing and done list everything and everyone I love cause of this sickness its not just a cosmetic issue its definitely internal. But what? I got speculations. Thats it. 12 years I've suffered and been thru hell and negative body changes and surgery like gall bladder had to be taken 9ut but I regret that ! Made everything worse thanks doctors for adding to my problems. They shoulda tried figuring 9ut why i got the gall stones to begin with nope just take out the organ its big money for them. But these things in the skin have something to do with it all.
demodex. There’s a mixture of borax & hydrogen peroxide that helps. Bathe in borax and tea tree. Tea Tree Oil kills them. Dilute it 50/50 with water if you’re applying directly to face. Neem oil helps as well. Oil of oregano taken by mouth, ivermectin, after applying tea a tree oil occlude skin with a thick moisturizer to suffocate them. Vaseline works for that. It sucks mine just multiplied insanely. It’s awful!!
This is NOT a mite... I'd welcome mites with open arms compared to this.
I've tried that doesnt work so i don't think its Demodex
H0w is it demodex? Y0u clearly see these things demodex your not supposed to see only a microscope you see them hell i can hold one these bas*ards in my fuc*in hand LoL 🤣
Lol. I only laugh because I know exactly what you're going through. I laugh to keep from f-ing crying at times. For real!!!! I've been through hell with this shit and talking to a Dr is a joke!!!! I bought a microscope and started doing research myself after being made to feel like a methhead or freak. So I have seen the demodex mites with the microscope and then I've experienced the yeast. Tea tree oil does help. But theres a shampoo that help with the scalp. I'll have to find it and post it under this post if this old lady can figure out how to get back here. Haha. I actually think I'm dealing with more than one thing. I have literally found webbing in my hair. At first it just felt webby and my hair would like move on its own towards each other with no wind, no air moving, no static, etc... and then one day I'm looking at my bangs and there's like a patch of web like a moth would have on a piece of clothing. Freaky!!!! Anybody, find strings in their sores or have unexplained sores? If so, you might wanna check out Morgellons Disease
I refuse to believe its morgellons only cause if it is then im fu*ked! They dont know enough about morgellons to save us. Ive had the worst case of thrush maybe its yeast its White and slimy like i know yeast can take different forms. I thought maybe its biofilm pods ? Yes my hair moves on 8ts own so bad it tickles my boyfriend when I get near his face!! Yes I know the webbing your talking about I've got little almost see thru short hairs that are crimped always crimped and hard to find em sometimes but unusual for my body to have these 2 inch long 3 in long almost seethru crimped hairs barely attached to my scalp but somethimg causing my hair to mat together had to cut it all off two years ago gad hair to my butt and now its so then almost feels like nothing on my head so light. 😢 Lost everything and everyone I love look at me its Christmas im on the porch trying to figure this out after 12 years of hell and doctors and research and frustrations and have noone Nobody cares 😓😥
Cant be demodex
Ty
I started having skin lesions back around 2014. They were in my scalp, behind my ears, on my face neck and lower back at one point. I started to pick at em and found these plugs under them. Sometimes I’d rip off a scab covered with them, like 20+. Drs told me I was doing it to myself and nothing was there. My hair started to fall out. Lesions spread. Drs gaslit me. After 3 years I left town for a new Dr. She cultured me (1st dr to do so in three years), it came back acinetobacter bumammmi lol last word wrong. Iraqibacter as nickname, it’s a superbug, flesh eating. I thought I had Morgellons at this point but no dr acknowledges that aside from calling u crazy. Moving forward I took double strength Bactrim for a long time. My hair grew back aside from one small bald small, scar from the lesion. Most lesions cleared up over the next few years but I’m still struggling with them on my face. They reopen and itch the turn into a sore then gets all irritated n puffy then I dig these plugs out. Finding your stories has given me hope that I can find the final solutions I need to kick this thing once and for all. It’s almost been 10 years of this now. I’m scar face. I hate it but I have to accept my fate. I’m so grateful my hair came back. Scheduled an apt with dermatologist next month and am eager to show her these pics and stories and ask for more help. They never fully listened to me when I tell them I’m pulling things out before the sore heals. Last dr gaslit me again so seeing a different one now.
I can’t wait to share these stories with my dermatologist as well!
Sxrew the storys they dont care they think all of us are nuts!! And tou sharing them make you look bad trust me im trying to save you from what already been thru hunny ❤️ please I care. Let them extract one or a punch biopsy on the whole damn wound make sure your certain them white slimy bas*rds are under there.
Dont take in pictures!! No !! They'll think your nuts please listen to me!! If you got any in your skin leave it let them extract it!! Thats the only thing you can do!! Have Them test the slimy thing ok trust me I've been there alot. Don't bring in samples or pics!! Head my warning please if you want them to try to help do what I said . I know you probably dont always have them thats why i said if possible to leave it in until your appointment if it happens that way hopefully timing its all about timing when they appear and when your appointment is 😣
She's right
I think that they might be demodex
Nope they cant be we can see them you can't see demodex unless with Microscope
looks like Demodex to me. They plug your pores and live in your hair follicles.
How so ? You cannot see demodex with naked eye only a microscope.
Yeah I get that ok BUT there is alot of crazy shiiit out there that do the same thing ok and like I've said time and time again the things in people skin ate not demodex! What do we know about demodex? Well YOU CAN ONLY SEE DEMODEX WITH A MICROSCOPE! THE SHIT IN PEOPLE SKIN EVERYONE IS BITCHING ABOUT WE CAN CLEARLY SEE WITHOUT A MICROSCOPE!!!! I REPEAT!!!! WITHOUT A MICROSCOPE!! WE SEE THEM WITHOUT MICROSCOPE AND THEY DO NOT MOVE!!! SO ITS A NEGATIVE ON THE FREAKIN MITES!!!! SHHHIIITTT!!!!
I'm sorry for yelling
But I'm serious we gotta start being more responsible, and focus alright ........be sharp ✌️
same here
Bulbs pulled out of sore
exactly what mine look like. I thought I was losing my mind.
I have these.help
We ALL NEED FUC*IN HELP! WHEN WE KNOW WILL DA*M SURE LET YOU KNOW MAN,DO ME A FAVOR AND YOU DO THE SAME 😘
That's not demodex it can't be unless demodex are taking steroids all a sudden or evolved into buffed out demodex than I dont think so
Did you find out? Are they bulbs to hair shaft? Like some defect bulbs? I need help man this is bukkshit
No one knows what this is. I have some crazy ones in my eyebrow and scalp. Just got Clindamycin from dr. And seems to be healing a bit now but I can still feel those white things.
Doctors are worthless and they're supposed to care that's why they're called doctors ,healers, they aint sh*t!!!!! A 5 year old can prescribe antibiotics!! That Clindamycin ain't going to do it ,nor is bactrim or any other stupid cream they love to pass out...they better mot waste my damn time, last doc I saw I got the cops called on me ... don't worry I was long gone lol
Hi, I'm sorry so late to the convo, but you were saying forehead and eyebrow? Do you wear a hat that you wash with your clothes? Do you use a wash cloth to clean your face that is cleaned with the same detergent you wash your clothes? What kind of detergent do you wash your clothes with?
The plugs in the photo were from my upper arm. The eyebrow sores are on both eyebrows right under them, where I tweeze. I used this eyebrow gel and the sores appeared the next day. Then I pick and dig then dr gave me antibiotic topical. She thinks I had allergic reaction to eyebrow gel. My spots take forever to heal. If all plugs are out, heals easily.
Just bought the Spencer’s gel from Amazon and it is helping.
Yes I smoke American Spirits cigs and vape cbd/delta8.
I was getting them everywhere my clothes rubbed, such as my shoulders where my tank tops crossed over and under my armpit near my chest where it crossed under. My biceps, on the outside mostly, where my short sleeve shirts stopped. Forehead and top lip where I was wiping my face, be it sweat or to clean. My arms and shoulders have cleared up and I am currently healing from an eruption on my nose, in an area that had a previous eruption. Overall in a much better state of health than before the detergent change. I hope for your best and let's stay in touch.😁
I use hypoallergenic detergents. Free and clear or the EOS natural.
I have very thick cuticles as well as discolored thick toenails.
41yo female. Healthy. No meds. I have been off Lexipro for almost a year (wondering if it was drug erruption). I think it’s like discoid lupus. The spikes are know as the thumb tack or carpet tack sign. I can cut myself shaving and it takes forever to heal and scars.
Yes!! Those are it!! I have been dealing with this for several years now as well. I've seen several doctors (no help-they accused me of being a meth user only I don't do drugs!!). I'm not certain if whatever it is is contagious or not, but when I first discovered them, shortly after my roommate and my mother both found they had them as well. My boyfriend, however, after nearly 2 years together still does not seem to be afflicted. They too have seen doctors but to no avail. It has turned me from a pretty girl to a scarred, scabby looking freak. My honest feeling is that these are larval sacs from the life cycle of some kind of zoonic parasite (tapeworm, fluke, etc.). Just in case anyone can find some kind of common denominator for us all:I live in owensboro, KY right on the Ohio River. Immediately prior to my first noticing these things in 2019, I swam in the ocean and my rented beach house pool in Panama City Beach, FL; however, neither my mother nor roommate, both afflicted as well, have visited the Gulf of Mexico since 2010. All 3 of us did wade in the same freshwater creek in Tennessee, though. I do smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol fairly regularly but do not use drugs. I am a pet owner with 6 rescue cats and a dog (3 of my cats are indoor/outdoor and I have had to both de-flea and de-worm them several times). I am an avid fan of the outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking, biking, kayaking, camping and gardening. I'm trained as a wildlife rehabilitator in KY and often handle wildlife such as birds, reptiles and small mammals.
That's all I can think of that might be related to contracting this hellish sh*t. Hope it can maybe shine some light on this for someone else and if anybody thinks of or finds out what this stuff is, please share it!!
I’m so glad that other people have this same problem. My mother sister and I also have this same issue. Between the 3 of us, every doctor we go to says we are crazy. I worry bc I looked up the demodex and I see it looks like it mainly affects the eyelashes and my grandson stays with one of his eyes crusted since he was 6 months old and pediatrician say nothing is wrong.
Everyone has demodex and they are helpful in most cases but sometimes stress and a weakened immune system will cause them to over populate and then you have an infestation which is not good. I had the same reaction from my Dr which I feel is messed up when they won't listen or check you out for it.
But these aren't demodex you cant see demodex without a microscope .... Ugggghhh 😣😢
Do you mom and sis live together? Do you mom and sis wash your clothes with the same detergent? I have the same issue and my girlfriend got a bad rash on her neck and a plugged hair under her chin. We thought it was the material of the clothes she was wearing but it turned out to be the detergent we washed our clothes with. If you want to know more, I'll look for your response in the future
I have these and I fucking hate them
Perhaps parakaratosis. So far that's my diagnosis still testing going on 2 years with this issue
Might be demodex related. Sounds alot like wth I'm going thru
Morgellons
…seems like you are all dealing with Morgellons Disease. Welcome to the club 🙃
I’m dealing with this too. My whole life I’ve had cystic acne. One day I went nuts and got them all out as best I could. The next day all the scabs had these white plugs. Most stayed in me. Some came with the scab. That was 8 separate spots about twice the size of a quarter. My nose looked like a strawberry but was easier to clear out because the skins so shallow. Fast forward 6 years I’ve had three weeks somewhere in the middle when they actually went away. But there was a bump I knew would soon erupt and it did. Since then I always have at least one spot. Consuming two hours every morning and two hours minimum every night pulling them out. Hundreds spent on all types of treatments and doctors and special tweezers. One time I pulled 143 out in 45 minutes!! I went to pen state medical in hershey after a very long wait just for that doctor to say that “you think you have something under your skin?” He dismissed me as crazy. I’ve been to tons of doctors. None said not to pick. They All say they don’t know. One time I was tested and came positive for staph. No doubt secondary but they only treated staph with doxy and a cream. This had a profound impact. It shrunk to almost nothing I’m days!! But the meds ran out. I went back and begged for the meds to be extended explained that’s now it’s coming back but it was almost dead. They just said staph was gone and it is smaller so let’s see. It was smaller at that time but it was smaller still days earlier. They wouldn’t hear me. I made another appointment w family doc and begged and he gave me the same meds but it failed to reproduce the effects. I feel like I had one shot and it was blown. The cream was something like minopriocine I don’t remember but I got a bunch of that. It’s antibacterial and it definitely helps. At first the plugs swell like crazy and almost fall out on their own. You are going to think it’s getting worse but stay with it. After a day or two most of them will have made themselves very easy to remove till they’re all gone and hopefully your body can heal in time before they regroup. Other than that I’ve tried everything from leaving it to pulling them all to covering them in plastic or other special bandaids. Long I mean 3 hours long hot showers help soften the area and if you can handle the pain you can scrub dozens out at once without picking one by one. If anyone can help at all for a more permanent fix please ill do anything
I've had staph too well mrsa but also I've had candida the worst case ever almost died from it thrush ears nose throat almost to the brain I lucked out doctors said.
I believe they are fluke worms infesting the skin. I think they are blood flukes. I have them also. Doctors think I am nuts, say they don't live here where I am, won't test me for them, and the only way to get med to cure it is thru the CDC here in the states. Everywhere else on earth the med is over the counter. Don't know why they are refusing to test for it. Found a lab recently that will test me for it for $90. Without a doctor asking for it. So first $90 I get extra goes to that. These things have run amuck and are seriously causing me health issues. It's not right what's going on with this stuff. It is not right at all.
I am so invested into your case. Like we should take up donations for your poop test. Keep us updated!
🤨
I found these pictures posted from an MD who deals with Morgellons patients. Looks similar to yours. Hope it helps.
Keratin protrusions on scab of Moregellons Disease patient.
Can you please share who the doctor is that specializes in Moregellons Disease? I am ready to fly to anywhere in the world to a doctor that can remedy this insane condition!! Thank you so much in advance.
I believe the doctor is probably Dr. Ginger Savely in Washington DC. I've been in contact with her myself because I've have these same skin issues since 2017. Unfortunately seeing her is very expensive, and im on SSDI...
The picture looks like one that is included in her latest book. I have many similar photos, so similar that you almost can't tell the difference...
Good luck 🤞
Good luck 🤞
Actually she should be commended for all the Morgellons research, advocating for the CDC to recognize morgellons as an actual multi-system disease vs. dismissing as something psychosomatic and/or Psychiatric, ie Delusions of Parisitosis...., and nearly losing her License to Practice when she started to treat patients for a disease our Govt says doesn't exist....
She's not trying to get rich off our backs with inflated treatment costs nor because she has a grandiose ego that leads her to promote self over patients.
The bottom line is that all treatment costs have to paid out of the patients own pocket.... no insurance can be billed for a disease that the CDC says doesn't exist...
Dr Savely is the real deal.... Why do I believe this???
Because the day I started to read her book I couldn't put it down and I couldn't stop crying. After being gaslit and dismissed as just another mental case by my own PCP and the Specialists she referred me to, Dr Savely was not only telling my story, but moreover validating it....
So maybe think about giving her a second look....
I'm not interested in reading story's they're all the same story! I'm interested in getting better!! I need medicine! But what? This is serious shit.... I dont want to die😟
We all want help with this... I've been sick since 2017 with this and now it's affecting my internal organs. I just learned I have stage 3A chronic kidney disease!! So I don't need your attitude. Especially when I'm trying to share a very valuable resource, that being Dr. Savely. She's one of the leading experts in this Country for successfully treating people with this disease.
If you are as concerned about getting well as you rant and rave.. Here's a newsflash for ya.. Western Medicine isn't going to "fix" you nor provide you with the answers you need. You gotta do your own homework... find your own answers... and appreciate those of us who share valuable resources along the way....
How the Fu*k is she going to help?? I've done the research you don't know me! Or whaat I've been thru man!y attitude stems from needing yo focus on REALITY not some fantasy. Person like me would never get a chance to be helped by her!! I'm 3rd class not 1st class on the sinking ship you call morgellons!!!! Everything I Love is GONE!!!! Do dont preach to me on need to focus on getting to the bottom of this I dont know if this is eben morgellons!i hope mot i know if it it im doomed!!
Had just about enough arguing,its a waste of energy and my time. YOUR RIGHT IM WRONG, YOUR THE BEST I'M THE WORST, YOUR SMART I'M STUPID, YOUR VERY GOOD LOOKING AND I'M NOT ATTRACTIVE ❤️😘
Had just about enough arguing,its a waste of energy and my time. YOUR RIGHT IM WRONG, YOUR THE BEST I'M THE WORST, YOUR SMART I'M STUPID, YOUR VERY GOOD LOOKING AND I'M NOT ATTRACTIVE ❤️😘
You know, you're right about the arguing....
This isn't a place for you or anyone else to show your ass....
It's a place for sharing and support. I'm nearly 57 yrs old and way over those spewing immature over the top drama.... Especially when they want some help...
None of know for certain what this is, but I can tell you this there is research that links morgellons to chronic lyme disease... you can explore that line of research....
Also, Dr. Savely is way too cost prohibitive for me too. Doesn't mean you can't learn from her. Further, she openly offers to connect with anyone's own PCP and guide them through treatment of the patient....
With that, I'm done with you until you check yourself....
Im 36 and that doesn't mean I'm immature. I'm not. I don't like drama of any kind either. I'm very exhausted,sick,and just would love to have a piece of myself back before I die. Instead of depending on caffeine and speed to function in the world. It aint healthy and very sad even with caffeine and speed I'm still not able to function properly or stay out of bed.
You’re interested in getting better and finding help, but you’re unwilling to listen. Savely may work with your PCP if you try. Persistence and self advocacy is key in medicine. I feel like you’re screaming for help but not hearing anyone.
I am hoping its anything else but Morgellons. I'm not ready to accept that what I showed pictures of is morgellons. I need help but when someone says morgellons I don't want to go there again. I'm trying to eliminate what other options it could be. I had thrush and didn't know for 19 months no doctor would help me they said they didn't know what was wrong why I had a severe sore throat. I started thinking I had a rare parasite UN heard of and finally when it almost killed me they said what it was.... something very well known,thrush.I've done so much research on the subject of morgellons.Very little is known and if its morgellons I'm doomed. Hoping its anything but Morgellons. So all I'm saying is lets do process of elimination of everything else first.
I totally understand how terrible this must be for you. I’m just worried that the longer you wait for answers, the worse it will get. I really hope you find answers soon.
I agree 💯.I cried too girl. Makes me want to right know. Because so many of us are just asking for help. And I personally work in Healthcare and It blows my mind. It's very sad.
Oh gosh!!You work in health care 😥 !!And don't know or have an idea of what these are?!?!😭 Thats it! No hope!! 😮💨😓☹️Ill be damned if I'm giving up though !! We all gotta stay strong!! I love you all!!!
I know about the Savey lady but its like going to try and meet a famous person impossible so fu*k her she outa not be tryin to gain fortune off this and help !!
Sorry when it comes to this I'm real pis*y I apologize to everyone in advance!! 😣😥Sick of this sh*t
Me too it's f all or lives up. But we can only help ourselves I guess. No one has all the answers. Most people kill them selves. But I'm not going to let it win. I have over come this before. It does go away. Just have to get at it aggressively. Everyday it takes diet and no stress plus soaking head every minute we get.
Soakin head? Hell my head dont get these or my legs or butt........... always my face, chest,back, arms, stomach.....
Dr. Ginger Savely
It don't not really ... Good luck finding treatment for morgellons. Im gonna fu*king die from this sh*t 😢
Get tested for Lyme from a Lyme doc. And go from there. Please
I've already had that test in (Mason,West Virginia )...2 years ago..... (Dr. Westmoreland)... results were negative. 🤷I've heard that there's different species of Borillia bacteria and spirochetes,and every patients different.....not to mention most hospitals and doctors offices DON'T have but only one test for lyme so you could have lyme when tests say you don't SO THEN WHAT DO YOU DO!?!!!!🤷

Look up Morgellons diesease support groups on Facebook. Love and healing ❤️🩹
Please, anybody!
Be strong
I've been suffering for 12 years lost everything i hold dear to me because of this try to calm down!!
Yes, I wish more than you know that someone would help us and I don't know how long you've been infected but I've been attached for 12 years its ruined my life and it will get worse. Its your insides that is to worry. This is not just a cosmetic issue here we are dealing with. People need to get that thru there head! Im running out of time 😣😓😢
Thats a big one ! So you got told it was cancer? That just don't seem right ? For real? I need help I'm dieing
Have you had any yeast like candida thrush ? How about thyroid ?? Please I need to know this???!!
Pin worms ???
I have been dealing with this same skin issue for over 5 years. First, I want to say I can relate to so many people feeling like they are going insane with the pain & unsightly lesions that keep cycling what feels like a mutation of the skin. My biopsies for cancer have been negative. Staph has been treated with every antibiotic & topical on the planet. One physician came up with the Morgellon disease concept. I am sure many can agree that these white plugs protruding from our wounds are not crawling or waving their heads to strike a pose! WE are not quite insane YET!! We are simply trying to find answers = ( A DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS) & a SOLUTION to overcome the mystery of white plugs showing up every day consistently, uninvited for what I call a "Plug Party." Like a murder mystery, for the past 5 years, I have fed them all kinds of potions, internally & externally to try to eliminate them & get a top airing position on Forensic Files. LOL
I have invested hundreds & hundreds of hours researching. My latest exploration is...Has anyone heard of: REACTIVE PERFORATING COLLAGENOSIS? Anyone interested in researching & exploring with me PLEASE share your findings & opinion.
I wish every single one of you dealing with this condition a better day tomorrow. Our physicians mean well. We must be proactive & patient, as their playing field is so very wide in the realm of science & its ongoing mysteries. Looks like it is up to us to solve this one.
With sincere regards & blessings,

Had this issue for years… seems to be related to GMO’s. A synthetic biology mutation that scientists created in plants so they would be indestructible as grown in crops. It’s almost as if the wireless technology makes this stuff grow in our lymph system like popcorn in a microwave and the body can’t digest it so it gets pushed out through the skin and it grows it’s own crops from our stem cells in hair follicles. Copper seems to help kill it- colloidal copper and any products with actual copper in it will kill the GMO.
Doctors are useless and the medical industry won’t participate because they make money off of the toxic food supply.
Copper copper copper!
Thats interesting ain't it cause it can be done ! I saw theyre making fruits in a lab grown from human dna man!! Wtf!😳 Lab grown produce from human dna or something like that you can google them key words 😫 humans are IDIOTS
Felicia! Copper kills it. Liquid copper, about a tablespoon a day. Darling girl...ITS WORKING!!!
♥️ is it still working?
♥️ is it still working?
I've began a copper regimin after some research. I am willing to do anything to get rid of this crap. If I may inquire....
How did you come to this conclusion AND
......are you free of this now after the copper infusion?
Thanks for your time.
Hi, I'm new to this thread and suffer with the same plug syndrome. May I ask what type of detergent you clean your clothes with? Do the infections appear were your clothes rub your skin ie. bicep region in the summer, wrist, forearm in the winter? Thank you for your time.
I noticed wrists and ankles had it worse, most likely irritation from clothes.I believe it's GMO related. I obtained that info from a blogger on this website. Copper kills the GMO that our body can't digest.
What about "Chronic Lyme".... Research has identified that Morgellons and Chronic Lyme are related.... the same spirocheets are identified in both. However, be aware that Chronic Lyme is just about as controversial. And testing methods aren't very reliable. Also, Drs, like mine, get you tested, and when it comes back negative, they declare that you haven't got Lyme. End of story...
However, they seem to play dumb about the unreliability. And even dumber about how, the ELISA I think, identifies antigens. Antigens are only present in acute lyme.... Years and months later, when you have developed Chronic Lyme, the spirocheets have manipulated your body systems and are sabotaged your immune response, such that they can avoid detection...
Maybe this is helpful?? Like the saying goes, "Take what you can use...."
So tell the doctor to test for antigens???? Im looking this up....
There are 2 tests commonly used by Drs, right now. The ELISA, and the Western Blot. If your Dr tests you, it will be the ELISA. If you test positive, they will test again with Western Blot. Both of these tests are nortiously unreliable.... And unless you have the luck of having Lyme Literate Dr., most regular PCP don't really have the training on how these tests are performed, read, and acted on. And, like my most recent PCP, rely on the labs report... ie, I was negative and my PCP declared no lyme disease, case closed.
I know 😥
look up Morgellons die dress on Facebook support groups. Big hugs and healing 💗
I have had this for years. Every scab same thing. Little white plugs some come out, on the scab other stay in typically.typically.in a circular formation. Pulling them out is the only way but in the epocess non returnable damage is dondone. When removed they bleed hard-core for a second when pulled out it may be one of the best feelings kknown tto man. When they are just about pulled out it's like they try and suck back inlikeapulledouttheydry.instantly. no inner guts or anythint.anything. I think it's a parasite. Or maybe a symptom of fungus or who the he'll knows. I do know it's real and has effected me from a-a-z in my. Body
Copper kills it! Get some colloidal copper! I had it for 5 years!! GMO related. Hallelujah. Tell the world. Copper will save you.
This really looks like a Dermox overgrowth.
I’ve been dealing with them my whole life and it’s been so hard to get a diagnosis.
My experience is hard rice like white plugs. Terribly hard to retrieve with tweezers and often travel deeper when squeezed.
Once pulled out/ or lifted during scab removal skin bleeds profusely but only for a short time and then there is instant recovery.
Sore will not heal until white plug is removed.
Ok guys, i've had this for 15 years, and done a BUNCH of research and hopefully this helps.
What it is
The white plugs are usually a result of what a fungal infection has done to your skin. It's either candida or malassezia. It usually comes on after you've taken a dose of antibiotics, or continual antibiotics (more than once in a year) or birth control pills. It kills off the good bacteria and things like candida or malassezia can bloom, and take control - when both would normally be in balance with a 'normal' antibody system. Same same with living in moldy home environments - this can really impact your natural defences and make you more susceptible to overgrowth of yeast / candida type infestations.
The bumps and open wounds tend to be in more oily places on the body - face, chest, butt. But you can still get them popping up other places.
Once they come to the surface, they won't heal unless you 'get out' the white plugs and sometimes even what looks like blood flukes. Some are super deep, get crusts on them, that weep and crack, sometimes bleed, sometimes just weep, and they can last for MONTHS.
What it's not
It's NOT morgellans disease, that's a conditon where it is thread-like or cotton like strands that come from the skin in colours - these are not strands, they are bulbous, they are white keratin plugs and they are white / fleshy / translucent skin coloured only.
It's NOT in your head. It's real. It's an overgrowth and your body system is likely out of whack.
It's NOT bacterial, and antibiotics won't help - although many DRs will give you a prescription for this, particularly if you pick a lot as this can cause infection. My GP took a culture swab after i had heavily picked at a few, and it came back with staph, but that was just the superficial infection, not what was causing the underlying issue.
It's NOT Dermodex infestation - people suggest this because of a similarity in some symptoms, but a dermodex mite infestation has large mites, not white keratin plugs. And the remedies for dermodex won't really help.
What to do - Step 1 No Antibiotics
Stop taking all antibiotics. stay away from them at all costs.
Step 2 - Anti Fungal Cream
Get a good antifungal cream. If it's candida you want a nycostatin based one (Nilstat in australia) if it's Malessezia you want Terbafine. You can do clotrimazole... but that is more broad spectrum.
Put this on 2-3 times a day. No other moisturiser, except UREA cream. otherwise you will feed the fungus with the oils and lotions that are in most beauty items.
Use a anti-dandruff (anti-fungal) shampoo as a face mask and a face wash - I do this every day. It should sting a little esp on an open wound - be careful if you are extra sensitive. do a patch test first.
Use sulphur drops (or mix sulphur / zinc) drops on the spots, this can remove the biofilm which is why those wounds don't heal. The yeast creates a biofilm that stops your skin thinking it's a pest and fighting it.
Step 3 - Heal Gut / Diet
If it's candida - take shots of apple cider vinegar in the morning, followed y a teaspoon of coconut oil which has a natural forming element that kills candida yeast - and has been shown to be as effective as any antifungal drops / tablets.
You can also take nilstat drops but only for 14days.
Oil of oregano drops are full on, and you can take those for 10 days (btw 1 - 4 drops a day). You should also look to support gut health in general, and invest in slippery elm powder, glutathiamine (for liver support) etc. See a functional health specialist to get a protocol that is designed for you.
Malessezia doesn't form in the gut, so this is more for candida only..
Remove yeast / fungus from your diet (mushrooms, bread, etc.)
Remove sugar! Fungus love that stuff and feed on it. Remove alcohol, and go to decaf coffee.
Step 4 - It Takes Time
You'll have to be patient, this has likely been in your system a little while.
Blood Fluke looking thing
Do you feel it’s accurate that those of us who have the clear, springy bulbs & also sometimes experience the filaments in our wounds have a different condition, such as Morgellans? What stumps me is, I do not experience the intense itchiness or feeling like I have something crawling under my skin, which seems to be the primary symptom of Morgellan’s sufferers. I didn’t believe the fibers I found in my lesions were from my body, until one day I tweezed some white fibers from my wound and watched as they “danced”. One fiber would wrap itself quickly around the other, then unwrap, start swaying around with the other like those huge, creepy wind-blown stick people commonly found outside car dealerships. Quite entertaining, to be honest. I’ve pulled a couple small “cotton bundles” from wounds that will quickly separate & straighten, dance about, then within a second will intertwine into a ball again. While interesting to watch, it’s also quite horrifying, as I can’t rationalize them as not being living strands. The notion that these living unknowns could be thriving in all my organs, possibly clogging up my “blood lines”, is one I have to remain in a state of denial over, because the truth is far too much for me to accept, when there are no answers, no solutions, no cure or preventative. I don’t find the fibers in every lesion, nor do I find them often, and all but maybe 3 weeks over the last decade I have had active lesions present. This all started one fall day with one small bump behind my ear, right around the base of my skull. That kicked off the behind-the-neck years, then came the face years, then the chest years, now I have them primarily on my back, a couple on my chest, and today a small pimple on my face has started its transformation.
I do want to note that I have tried applying all the various fungus creams one can find at any pharmacy or grocery store. They do help, one particular brand (ingredient) seems to works better than the others, but none of them are cures. Managing the lesions is all I can do, and keeping them clean & covered with hydrocolloid bandages, when not pulling the damn plugs out, has given me the best results.
Thank you for all your great information and advice!
Hi guys, I've had some break through's in my personal case. The most important thing for me to know is what type of detergent are you cleaning your clothes with? Please chime in if you can help with this info, everyone can leave a comment with your brand.
Tide
Thank you. Are you still pulling plugs. Did the copper clear you up?
Hi Finnymin24. Tide was ripping me a new one. Era as well. In the middle of trying to find a non-dye detergent I tried the free and clear and was a bit itchy. The best results came from using the cheap dollar store brands like sun. These had no dye and less potency, unlike 10-100% stronger brands( tide, era, gain). My prefered brand now is earth breeze washing sheets. I would suggest stop using tide and rewash all your clothes, towels and sheets with just water or with one of the options provided above. I was covered head to to the top of my toes before I stopped using tide. Now I have one spot on my nose that is healing. In my case, I KNOW that it was the detergent. I also noticed, over the last 14-15 years, that they only came where hair grows. Never one on the palm of my hand or the bottom of my feet. Arms, thighs, forehead, cheeks, ass, waist line. I was fucked up! I had patches of plug covered hairs that took years to clear. The key was, I was reinfection my self every time I would shower, dry and put on clean clothes. I have been looking for us for 10 years now and just wanted to share what put me into recovery. This is not theory, this has actually worked for me. I've had to use an inhaler because of the side effects of having these plugs. My inhaler intake has dropped to about 3 puffs a day. At the worst, a cpl puffs every hour. I thought I was gonna die like this. It's a slow go to get it out our system. Now, this is theory; The dye is absorbed in the hair follicle and causes the bulb to grow more bulb instead of a hair. Each follicle can grow multiple hairs therefore multiple plugs. The what they are does not concern me anymore, only the why, and the how to get rid of of this nasty sickness. Please take into consideration what I have said. You can get better now.
Hi, mind me asking what type of detergent do you use to clean your clothes?
It matters not and is one of the first things doctors rule out on any skin condition. Those of us with this condition for years are well past every day allergens, irritants, and infections.
Ok, I know how sensitive a subject this is but please give me an ear. I have dealt with this condition in my skin since 2009-1010 there about. Dr's gave me nerve medicine, anti psychotic's and told me it was all in my head! I even prepped one and pulled it out in front of him to prove it was not just in my head. He put it on a glass microscope square and walked out the room. When he returned he had some ointment and no advice. It mattered for me, the detergent, when i noticed after many years of having it, the different places it would occur on my body as the seasons passed. One year I had the genius idea to to wear a basketball wrist ban to play golf. I put it on my for arm to wipe away sweat when I was over a shot or put without having to retrieve a towel. Around the third or fourth hole my arm started burning and where I had been wiping my forehead was burning and itching. I took the band off and washed off the irritated areas. A couple months passed by and the area i had the arm band on started to develop the classic itchy raised circle that's going to turn into pull a plug city. This is just one story of many after dealing with this problem. My point is Can we get consensus on something that we might all share in common. My condition did not get any better until I got colored dye, especially blue, off my skin and out my life. It would not seem something mundane could make that big of a difference but it did for me. So please, what type of detergent do you use, does it have blue dye?
Doctors rule everything out. They don't know what it is, so they can't rule in anything. It is up to us that suffer to help figure this out. I have had to use an inhaler for the last 14 years, and i don't have asthma. The less break out spots I had ,the less inhaler medicine I would need. It's been 2-3 years since I stopped using dyed detergent and still have a remnant, but nothing like being covered with open wounds and not having any direction to go for help. My worst experiences are when they would appear in a hairy area causing the plug covered hair and giant sideways growing plugs to occur. I would implore you to not dismiss me as someone who just stopped by to comment. I have been alone in this struggle til now. The pictures that have been posted confirmed to me this was the right place. My story sounds the same as everyone else, I just wanted some help. I don't know what they are, but I know what helped me get better. For all I know, we have a lawsuit on our hands if it does turn out to be the detergent. On the bottle it says 100x's concentrated. This is not the same detergent we had as kids. I'm 52, so when I say, "when we were kids", there is some context. Nothing personal to you brother or sister. I should have gave context to my request in the first place and for that mistake, I apologize.
I am in your same age range... Nothing is the same as when we were kids.
As far as laundry detergent: personally, Sun is the worst - it doesn't clean clothes, you have to use way more than other brands, and it is a severe skin irritant. Primarily, I have used various types of Arm&Hammer. I try to stick with the dye free, scent free, everything free flavor. I am more sensitive to the smells of detergents than skin reactions (except Sun). Tide has never been an option because of it foul odor (to the point I do not go near the laundry aisle in the grocery store). This is subjective and solely my experiences.
Thank you. All of us who have this,can only speak subjectively and to our experience. However, that information is precious to those who have this shared experience. Thank you and please if you have any break through's, share them with me. I'm using earth breeze washer sheets. In my case it truly was the detergent. I'm currently dealing with the hard skin healing stage with the last one on my face. No more on may arm's or body. I didn't use copper or medicine or any topical lotions.
There's a blogger on here named Makingitwork22 and I do believe they're onto something. GMO related. His theory is outta this world but ....so is this debilitating skin disorder.... where Docs are clueless.
Thank you.

Mine turned out to be pin worms. Every dr I went to seem to think they couldn't come in my skin. WRONG!!! Tell me this tho, if I drop the scab on my skin in a new spot it would absorb into that spot. I hate saying that because that's I'm considered crazy. I don't no if we r going thru the same thing, but I no it's bn a year and I can't get help. I have setup a gofundme so I can go to an independent lab and c wat the conspiracy is. I always thought if something was wrong with me, I can go to the Dr and b fixed. This time they put me out of the lobby because of all the sores I had. And then they saw me "outside", and would only give me penicillin and some scabies cream which made it worse. I have a 14 yr old son who I think it has spread to, Iam so scared I might die because I have lost too much weight, and I look worse every day. I mean it's n a year. Don't no way to do.
Hey ToniciaG, How long have you had this condition? Do your infections and extractions look like these pics? I'm asking to see if we have the same thing. What type of detergent do you use to wash your clothes? Were you diagnosed with pinworms or just an educated guess. The affliction we suffer from could be mistaken as pinworms. The extractions are similar looking in that they are white clearish long stretchy worm looking plugs. What symtoms are your kids showing? Are your sores a result of you extraction the infections or do they just come to the surface and break the skin on there own? My girlfriend started showing signs of this sickness 7-8 years ago. Her breakout led me to believe that it was me, then I figured out it was something we were both using. The blue or green dye in products like tide, era and or gain was causing my breakouts of these what I think are mutated hair foliclles. Some of my infections would have a hair inside the clearish white plug bulb. For reference, mine are similar to the pics that feliciamarie uploaded. I hope this helps and hit me up if you have any questions. Good luck on your healing.
I'm sorry I'm so late seeing this. But the sores actually move from place to place. Not too far from where it already was. But it's visibly moving. There are a lot of little black horseshoe shapedin every old and new scar on my body. There are these white lines about a quarter inch apart that cover my finger tips. I guess from picking it from wherever. I have video of it moving. And I gave pics of how strange it looks. I promise u these white things move independently.
One of my scabs
i have also been having this for years my shoulders at the back are so scarred that i cant wear a proper dress anymore i have also seen different doctors and nothing helps i have googled and nothings seems to come up.....someone must know what it is and what causes it....if nobody knows we should definitely look into it
Hello AmorW, May I ask what detergent do you use? Do you wear t-shirts or tank tops? Does your infections occur where your shirts rub your back and shoulders? I'm sorry, I don"t know your gender, so I made an assumption. Do you get the infections where your bra rubs your back and shoulders( if you are a woman)? Tide, Era, Gain, and any other detergent that has green or blue dye, I have identified as the leading cause of my infections.I have been pulling these plugs out my skin since 2010. My shoulders, arms, face, and depending on the season top of my toes and legs. I'm reaching out to anyone on this thread to share what made me better. This shit sucked for almost 15 years of my life. I didn't have a clue and the doctors were no help with their ointments and delusional talk. Hit up if you have any questions and I will be happy to help with what helped me. Good luck with your healing.
Fibrogens
It's Demodex.. 100%
these are definitely keratin plugs, it’s diet related.
Hi I'm new to the page and have been dealing with these damn things for about 2-3 years now. I've not been to a dermatologist for this especially after reading other people's repliers and treatment.. on a site acne sometimes there's some old post with people having the same thing we're all dealing with and one post particular stood out to, the guy had been dealing with this mess, he been to the mayo clinic and everything antibiotics made it worse ect. and what he said his diagnosis was and what he found was some how he was over given antibiotics and in return it throw his body's negative and positive fungi to go out of wack one cancelles out the other creating a yeast noodle puck whatever you want to call them things to come through your pours... The detergent comments could be a trigger for some people but I've been using the same brand for years. I'm very healthy take very good care of myself never ever had acne as a teen nothing. But I went to the hospital before this mess started with a severe case of gurt never had it before and never had any heart burn problems but the pain made me think I was having a heart attack, hospital put me on antibiotics, fluid and morphine and prescription for antibiotics and heart burn.. shortly after these things started to appear
This is the post I've come across it's on acne.org
I completely 100% agree! I've been to 9 different Specialists, 7 of them Dermatologists and I even drove a 9 hour trip to Mayo Clinic to get answers. Nobody and I mean NOBODY could figure it out, not that they were really to anyway. If the diagnoses wasn't obvious to them within the 15 minutes they examined me, they just labeled it "dermatitis" and gave me antibiotics with antibacterial cream or anti-inflammatory cream. BOTH OF THOSE MAKE IT WORSE!!! Regardless of the fact that my skin biopsies showed PITYROSPORUM YEAST (malassezia) embedded in my tissue, the dermatologists still didn't think it was that. Well let me tell you, IT WAS. After years of being overprescribed and unnecessarily prescribed Antibiotics along with corticosteroids, it threw off my body's natural microbiome. When you take antibiotics without counteracting with probiotics, they kill off all the good bacteria along with the bad bacteria. You need the good bacteria to keep your body's yeast/fungus levels in check. When all the bacteria is killed, the YEAST GROWS OUT OF CONTROL. I had some success with ketoconazole but what helped the most was actually CLOTRIMAZOLE. Oddly enough the product that worked the best was from the Dollar Tree in the form of Athletes Foot cream (1% clotrimazole) because it also has aloe which helped remove the "biofilm" that made the yeast hard to treat. I've spent 100's of hours researching my condition on the National Library of Medicine website along with all the doctors visits. If you're looking more info to see if this could be what you have, search "pityrosporum folliculitis", "malassezia folliculitis" or "fungal acne". Oh, and to answer the question of what those little plugs are, they're keratin plugs and they're what keeps the yeast (pityrosporum, malassezia) trapped inside causing the infection in your follicles and sebaceous glands.
I’m dealing with these things too. It’s awful thought these were blackheads and tried extracting, nothing that works for regular pimples/acne works like on these. Bought a camera and tweezers and pulled these awful demons. I’m so sad, I haven’t figured out how to manage this and jeez to get it out it have to destroy my skin, but if I don’t it gets repeatedly infected and the scab never heals. So far, pulling and some antibiotic cream seems the only thing that works
Plug
That could be a pic of the plugs I’ve been pulling out of my skin for the last decade. Most of those years required hours of my attention, every day, just to tend to & manage this horrific condition! So SO beyond defeated…
I have been suffering from this shit for more than 6 months now. Anyone else feel like glass is coming out of their skin too? I've had mrsa before skd staph, I have cancer, peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia. But the amount of input I've heard from others when they are just as clueless is insane. I'm scared to go to the hospital and the only time it heals is when I completely pick them all out. If not my skin develops lesions. HELP!!!!
Im perfectly healthy, young, never had infection issues, just not meds are for depression since I lost my child. Nothing else, im worried to got to the dr too, specially since they tend to dismissed this as mental health related
I have bn dealing with this for a year now. In my nose. In my ears. Everywhere in my skin. Dr's dismiss me, and tell me this is nothing. They won't do any test. Won't look at anger puts our videos. They jus keep hurling psych meda at me as if I don't see wats going on with my own body. I feel like they are watching me die. And now I have passed it to my14yr old son.
Something came from my ear, and it moves. This is the same kind of thing in my skin.
Ï have them as well and dr. Thinks I'm crazy. So I started to study and that made me more confused. It's a horrible in my mightparasite of some kind and I've read where a person got moving of this and identified it.A midge fly mite. When bitten by the fly it goes into your funding stream they also live just under your skin by the millions. I actually have video of the free traveling adults coming out of someone's foot and shooting a gooey spit like spiderweb at a cat. They are almost invisible and I've had an adult try to crawl in my mouth. It seemed like a long hair but was trying to get in my mouth. When I picked it out it was moving. I just happen to see it and that was when I really got into this. No info on this matter at all . Showed dr video he could not explain and seemed to feel like he thought I made it up. I now have hundreds of videos and pictures. This is no joke they are killing me... I hope this helps .. . Your not crazy...it's real and it will duck your life..
Worms
Do you get random spots on your skin that start as a pimple like lump and then when it is punctured or popped it turns into a scab sometimes yellowish in color? You might want to look into Dermodox mites they are nick named demon mites because they are horrible I'm dealing with this now my entire body is covered from head to toe with big scab like lessions. They first itch like crazy because they are just getting started. But once they make their burrow deeper and bigger under your hair follicles and pours you get these horrible lessions because they lay a lot of eggs under your skin. Then they come out of your skin at night and you all of a sudden feel a crawling sensation in random spots out of nowhere. What happens is under the scab or scabs you get the eggs hatch and they feed and when you pull the scab off they will either come out attached to the scab or you can see them in the wound under the scab like little white worms just like what is hanging from the scab in your picture. I've done 2 rounds of ivermectin and permitherin cream got rid of my bed all my clothes had to go to the laundry mat spent $350 on just that alone got rid of half my bedroom ripped up the carpet and it helped for like 2 weeks then right back to my living nightmare hence the name demon mites. If you are immune compromised it will get out of control fast that's my issue liver failure but it can happen to anyone more so women or older people. Sulfur soap and tee tree oil soap will usually help a mild issue
Dermodox mites under Infected scab that stayed in skin after hatching
Dermodox mites they can cause a complete infestation of the body I'm dealing with it now it's a living nightmare. They are called demon mites because they are hell to try and get rid of. They breed and lay eggs under the skin. At first it was itchy but once it gets out of control and they start breeding you get these really soar lumps like a pimple and once it breaks it turns into a lession that scabs over. They will lay eggs under your skin and feed them when the scab comes off or is pulled off there can be ones stuck to it like your picture there can be eggs or there can be a bunch of little ones in the hole under the scab that stay in the skin. I'm going through it now and it's a living nightmare I have lessions from head to toe. They will come out of your skin at night and you can feel a random crawling sensation here and there it's terrible. Infestation usually only happens in older people babies and women and mainly immune compromised people like myself with bad Hepatitis C so my system couldn't stop it from taking over. People who have a milder issue and it's not completely out of control sulfur soap and tee tree soap or permitherin soap will usually help. But if that's what it is and it's gotten to that point under your skin or scabs you are going to have to get ivermectin oral tabs and permitherin cream good luck to anyone dealing with dermodox mites it's a horrible thing to go through
I would totally participate in a study especially if it comes with a cure , I could use the extra money too 😆
I get the same thing and it bleeds this came off my face
I have this and iylt is much worse i am being tested for Lyme disease and Morgellons disease after tick bites in 2015 that were ignored by the hospital instead they put me on a mental health unit! Said i was suffering from Psychosis!!!.
Hello, i made my account purely just because i found this post and wanted to contribute my experience.I suffer from hidradenitis suppurativa on my breasts and i just have a flare up last few months. I keep popping all the abscesses which leaves a deep round holes, like craters. Idk if it was happening previous flare ups, but this time i keep pulling out there white plugs as well, sometimes even as big as 5mm in length.
Those are not demodex nor pinworms as you need microscope for the first one to even see it and the other one is literally a long worm that would wiggle and stuff. These plugs are nothing living! It's literally connected to the inside of the wound, like a growth. It bleeds like crazy when removed because you just rip it off the rest of the skin, that's it.
And it's absolutely not Morgellons disease, thats a dumb myth, that "disease" doesn't exist.
The only logical answer is that this plug is simply a weeping soaked inside of the skin trying to fill in a hole in the wound as it's trying to heal. But by ripping it out basically ruins the process so it has to grow again and again. Thats all.
It may seem logical to you, and trust me I understand what you're saying because I've been dealing with these for years. While yours may be different than mine, someone else's may be different from the next person, your last statement was a bit rude. If you have what some of us have, there is NO CHOICE but to remove the hardened, tight pulling, throbbing, itchy, burning and make you crazy feeling scabs. Even without scabs, this little sucker's will come out. Exhibit A: mine weeps at night, because I'm a left side sleeper, mine at this time are on my left side. Don't tell me to switch sides sleeping, because I have reasons for my left side sleeping. Then it keeps, it sticks to my shirts. It's literally glued to my arm by the draining. I have to PEEL the shirt from my skin, and guess what....those plugs are stuck to the shirt now. I have had to video it for my doctors because they said the same callous statement you made. Stop picking and pulling the scabs off. I've been ungluing my shirt for from my arm for literally 2 years. What do you think that has done to these things? You can't bandage them when they take up almost your entire upper arm. Besides, it probably wouldn't stay because of the drainage. Plus, can't find. Non stick bandages large enough. Smh
If you're gonna be in here to help, which your opening statement makes me feel as though you were just here to say what you said so rudely, then help and stop with the snarky. Otherwise, remove yourself from this thread as you are not needed and I certainly don't want any info from you now because it just seems tainted by your rude ways. So please just stop with your crap. None of us wanna be going through this. And we are and we only want those that can participate and be helpful, not say things that some have already had said in the same condescending way from a doctor. Have some empathy. Jeez.
Yes I do. Mine are completely out of control. Worse all the time. Itching all the time until it comes off. Hurts like heck to pull and then there's no blood. Are these things aliens using our bodies as hosts. I keep telling my brother I feel as though I'm slipping into dementia or something ... it's making me smack crazy. I don't even wanna be around anyone because of it. How can the doctors not know what the hell these are? I swear I'm thinking it's alien warfare technology bahahhaa. But seriously I've told my doctor and showed him pics and he just said stop scratching it and gave me some cream. The cream only helped if I smeared it on super thick and not rub it in. Then let it sit that way for as long as i could. Though this did not heal it, it did help a bit. I barely sleep 4 hours a night because I wake to scrathing these spots. These things are not keratin plugs nor oily whatever. These are either living creatures or babies. I can actually feel a biting sensation. And i have to make it stop. Once i pull the it tge biting stops immediatelyin thatspot. Somethings up with this madness people. Its like its not real ya know? Like why is this happening. My brother never really took me seriously until I showed him pics and videos of mine. Now he's helping research to find a cure of whatever life form these are. Oh by the way I have seen a post of someone who said it is a mental condition that causes this as if to say it is not real. Like it's just a plug ..... bullhockey!!! This crap is real and obviously very serious.
I've been doing this pulling the plug thing since 97. Gotta do my own hair cuts because you now the embarrassment? If feels so friggin good when I yank one of these bastards out. Thick blood but so soothing to the toes man. Can't describe how it really feels. No one I know has it. Thought from being in combat in the desert and in Korea and Hondo and Aberdeen Proving Grounds where they develope chemical stuff it had to the military. Mine is in one place and one place only. Right above my hairline in the hair from ear to ear. Not above... Not below the hairline. Same damn place for 20+ fkn years. If ANYONE has figured it out ..please....me and family need to know. I dig all fkn day like it's a parasite in my scalp.
I've had this shit from 1997 at Aberdeen proving ground in the military.
