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

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

Hello friend. What type of clothes detergent do you use?

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.

GoodTone in reply to FeliciaMarie

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

GoodTone profile image
GoodTone in reply to FeliciaMarie

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.

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

Unreal1025 in reply to FeliciaMarie

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

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).

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 ...

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.

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. 😳

SoSweetSound in reply to FeliciaMarie

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

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?!

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.

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!

Desperate4Answers in reply to Kyjah

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.

EmeraldEyes427 profile image
EmeraldEyes427 in reply to Skinplugthread

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 .

Desperate4Answers profile image
Desperate4Answers in reply to FeliciaMarie

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.

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 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,

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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 😓😥

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.

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.

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.😁

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’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 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.

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....

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....

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!!!!

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....

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 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.

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....

02101967 profile image
02101967 in reply to FeliciaMarie

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 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

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.

YellowSunshineGirl profile image
YellowSunshineGirl

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.

GoodTone in reply to FINNYMIN24

Thank you. Are you still pulling plugs. Did the copper clear you up?

GoodTone profile image
GoodTone in reply to FINNYMIN24

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.

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.

GoodTone profile image
GoodTone in reply to Rbbrducky

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?

GoodTone profile image
GoodTone in reply to Rbbrducky

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.

Rbbrducky profile image
Rbbrducky in reply to GoodTone

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.

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.

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.

GoodTone in reply to ToniciaG

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.

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.
