I would like to talk about this: The Charles E. Holman Foundation (I'll refer to as CHF) is the only foundation in the US that researches Morgellons. If you are aware of them, then you also know that they created a documentary about Morgellons (Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10146070/) .They believe that Morgellons is Lyme related, and to their benefit, are one of the few entities that tries to embrace and honor a wholistic view of Morgellons patients.
The Foundation states that they are a grassroots activist organization that supports research, education, diagnosis and treatment of Morgellons Disease. Ultimately, we seek discovery of its cause and cure. That is a statement that you wont find elsewhere. Dr. Randy Wymore took interest and believed when no one else did. However, dont go googling him with hopes of contacting him. You won't get a response. In another article I read, he referenced that too many people were contacting him - why was he the face of Morgellons (no pun intended by him). Theres no center there for you to go to at the University of Oklahoma. They dont take patients. You can find resources/research on their website, register as a patient, find Lyme friendly doctors. https://medicine.okstate.edu/research/morgellons.html
Lyme is somewhat like saying you have Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia = same outcome = nothing. Google Lyme and antifungals, or antivirals, or antibiotics - there is not a lack of articles on any of those, or combos of those. It's a rabbit hole. Sothen (speaking to you CHF - I know you read this site)find a cure for Lyme - as I see that you're very invested in it being Lyme.From my experience,others with Lyme almost single handedly float alternative medicine.
The Charles E Holman Foundation lists a case study as it's first article in their "bag" of references/research [ https://thecehf.org/research/ ]. It is a "study" on one person that had multiple psychological issues (yes, multiple!) and who had 2 days (yes, 2 days!) of skin eruptions. Apparently Doxycycline helped that poor woman who was wrongfully represented. Doxynever helped me, and I was on it atthe beginning, and for 9 months. And then I was on stronger antibiotics (Zyvox - hard core!), and I still became worse. That research article that the Holman Foundation postsis a shameful reflection on them, not us. It comes across as if you had poordiscretion CHF.
I have things to say about Morgellon's research reliability and validity, as well as CHF'slimited research scope/agenda- which I'll table for now.I'm grateful for CHFand what you do -it's just that you can, and should, do better.
@Kiki RNThat isamazing that the mask has worked so well for you...Im so happy for you!!I was wonderingwhat color lights you use when you use the LED mask and I also wanted to check in and see if it is still working well for you at this time?Thank you so much! Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
The Charles Holman Foundation (CHF) sent out an email - they want you to register as a patient, could use donations and recommended antibiotics as they believe this issue is tick/Lyme related. They don't specify which antibiotics or dosages.
So, just generally antibiotics? And - you're stickin' with that, huh? Because doctors didn't prescribe antibiotics like they were candy in the 80's and 90's? Because Lyme has been eradicated?
People just want you to help ease their suffering. Antibiotics are often the only medication that is even afforded to a Morgellons patient. They are not the answer, at least not on their own accord.
I get that you are the only entity in the United States that is even looking into Morgellons, I get that the CDC does not recognize Morgellons as an illness and so you receive zero funding, and I get that you are in real need of donations in order to make any kind of advancement.
Technically, I was bit by a tick 20 years ago. You know, there are many other diseases besides Lyme that are transferred by ticks. How about Murine Gammaherpes virus 68? It's been found in humans, transferred by ticks. I'm not against it being Spirochetes, or a co-infection.
In your movie, Skin Deep, there is a moment where a woman says - "Antibiotics worked for me. I'm one of the lucky ones". Why did she consider herself lucky? - Because Antibiotics didn't work for the majority. Stop pretending as if you have found a cure. Please. Listen. Better.
For those of you out there: This is a crazy website, but maybe consider creatingan account to just post"yes" or "no". "Yes" will mean you have been on antibiotics for this issue, and a"No", means you have never been on antibiotics for this issue. I know you read in silence - allow yourself a voice.
I am pretty sure at least some of these are ingrown vellus hairs and vellus hair cysts. Vellus hair is that fine hair that even women have on their face, arms, stomach, etc. I developed ingrown vellus hair cysts after getting dermaplaning on my face and arms. The hairs grew back much like a stitch in fabric- up through the skin and back down into it. As a natural blonde, the hairs were difficult and even, sometimes impossible to see with the naked eye. Two different dermatologists misdiagnosed me nearly 1/2 a dozen times between them: acne, an allergic reaction, folliculitis, eczema, and they even accused me of self inflicting this (which wasnt true). The irony is, I used a needle and tweezers to manually remove them but I dont recommend that, as it takes forever, there is risk of infection or scarring, and if you have bad close-up vision, it may be impossible for you to do. I just got so fed up that no one would treat this with any sort of urgency so I went in and did it myself. However, I have since learned that getting a Dermatologist to treat you with dermabrasion or ablative lasers is much, much safer and less painful.
PS Applya lotion with urea & lactic acid to help prevent this from reoccuring.MoistureX, Elixir, U-Lactin, Ebanel, and Atrac-Tain are a few makers of such lotions.
Finally facts confirming what Ive spent hundreds of hours over 6 months on. Not until i started getting these tiny little plugs did i come across this forum. My mental health is at a all time low. Ive lost my job, relationship. doctors have turned me away, called me delusional ( who i plan to sue). I started to think I was crazy. I have a fungal infection taking over my body from being on 6 different anti antibiotics in 7 weeks. I finally feel confident in taking my care into my own hands. Screw these useless doctors who I pay for. Refused to give me a referral to dermatology. Thank you all for your great research
Hey Had Anyone Looked Into. "SKIN/Liver/Blood FLUKES". I HAVE THE same exact thing. And as for the guy who said the stuff about "Abuse". I'll be 100% he onest. I DO use. And have Used for the Past 13+ plus Years. And this just recently started about 2 years ago.. and I believe it's skin Flukes. But I may be wrong because I still haven't cured it myself. Not only that. There's this super thick Parasite type stuff that come out my Blood. And it's crazy. Yes the drugs don't in help. But I know the difference between my body is reacting to something and when I'm just trippin... Anyway.
In my experience. Baby Powder helps Alot. Withe plugs. Just put some one and Rubb it off. It doesn't hurt or anything they actually just kinda fall of . And yes stop picking. That helps. But I know it's hard. I feel like I'm making progress. I'm also trying out "Praziquantel". Look into it's. It's hard to get since the doctors won't believe us. And so I'm taking the Dog Dewormer. And no joke it's helped alot. If anyone has any updates or any new onsite pls contact me. And lmk as to I'm still battling with it. Also. Sleep helps lmao. It's funny I know. But it does. And lots of water. I wish u all the best.
@Kiki RNThank you so much for posting and sharing your photos. I have previously posted yet am yet to be fully cured (I was told it wasfolliculitis). I have had this for 20years now. I don't know what it is, hormone related,folliculitis and I'm not sure that I will ever know!) But, seeing your photos and the results you have had has really encouraged me. I have now brought an LED mask of the same spec (different brand as I'm in Spain). I wanted to ask you how long you used it for each day and what light in particular? Really grateful if you could let me know! (sorry if you already said- I can't find it) Thanks and one love from Spain

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.
DEMODEX MITE INFESTATION! I™ve been dealing with this for almost 20 years. I think you are all dealing with possible candida/fungal issues and most probably have SIBO. You have demodex mites .. not bacterial acne or fungal acne. That™s why nothing is working. You have demodex mites due to candida and other underlying GI issues usually. But this is a demodex issue¦ google it. Borax solution is a godsend and so is ivermectin. Get rid of the mites and know that once you get them off of you that you will need to manage this issue for life. Once they™re gone they can come back.
Just something to ponder:
Doctor Harm. It's nothing new, yet Doctors pretend as if they have never caused harm - throughout history or in present time.We should probably now also include CDC harm. Their inadequacies have certainly been highlighted over the past few years.
In the 1940's, Autism was deemed to be caused by "Refrigerator Mothers". Psychiatrist Leo Kanner determined that it was a mother's "cold" personality that caused the Autism - henceforth Refrigerator Mother. Refrigerator Father was never a term. Dr. Kanner was well respected - so much so, that the belief lasted for almost 40 years. Can you imagine how many mothers suffered because of this? For 30-40 years? Youre so emotionally void and shitty that you caused your child to have communication, sensory, motor, physical, emotional, and behavioral issues. How does your husband even stay with you, you female/mother piece of shit? Can you imagine how many families were destroyed by this shaming and blaming - by "do no harm" medicine? Where does the shame actually belong? It's easy now to say how wrong those doctors were.
[ https://www.verywellhealth.com/why-refrigerator-mothers-were-blamed-for-autism-260135 ]
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator_mother_theory ]
Trenton Psychiatric Hospital is another horrific example of Doctor "Do No Harm". TPH was a large Psych Hospital run by Henry Cotton from 1907 to 1930. Dr. Cotton was very well respected and had multiple published studies backing his research - that doctors across the United States believed and referred to. In those days, women could literally be institutionalized for not keeping the house clean or for arguing with their husband. Dr. Cotton's research focused on certain organs and body parts that caused the "psychosis" - so he took out teeth, organs, and limbs without consent by the individual - as a cure for said Psychosis. What do you think the outcome was for these people who were deemed as crazy and then further traumatized? Many, many, many people died before Dr. Cotton was removed, men included. The worse off, were the ones that lived. It took 23 years before Dr. Cotton was exposed and removed. How can "Do No Harm", at that extreme, last for 23 years? History always repeats itself in some form.

That's just 2 examples - there are so many more. Read about Gilda Radner - doctors told her that her symptoms were anxiety, brushed her off - until it was too late and she died from a curable cancer. Or Google "Medicine" and "Gas Lighting" - every major newspaper in the US has multiple articles on the topic. Doctors are not the enemy - but do not take in other people's shaming of you. Happened in 1907, happened prior to that, and is still happening. I dont have confidence that it will end. History does show that Victimizers never just freely change on their own accord.
@SkinsoroughHey! So it's been several months, I was rarely using the mask at all actually after the first couple weeks and my skin stayed clear. So basically....I totally slacked off and didn't have any issues. Which was great! In the last week I had a small breakout though. Nothing like the old stuff. But after having had everything cleared up, it was crazy to feel the effects of it hit me because it's not just a skin issue. It's definitely some kind inflammatory response. I am pretty positive there's a demodex involvement but there's definitely something else at play here. It was like almost overnight my skin, eyes and hair just looked and felt disgusting all over again. Again.....not to the level I was before but so much more noticeable after having had "healthy" skin and hair for these past months. I jumped back into my mask every day (red, blue, green for 20 minutes each) and ramped up the immune system boosting supplements. Because obviously our bodies are somehow not fighting something properly and need having a very nasty inflammatory response to it. It's helping of course. But so frustrating to know we might always be dealing with this. I tried to identify triggers and the only thing I could think of was excess time out in the sun...although I did use sunscreen on my face.
A lot of people have posted about demodex and the treatments for it. I do believe there is demodex involved. I'm not sure if they are secondary to an inflammatory response we're already having or if they are the cause. A lot of times rosacea and demodex can cause a cascade of problems back and forth with each other because the demodex will basically flourish off the symptoms of rosacea flares which cause more flares.
Anyway, I have taken the Ivermectin and Metronidazole treatments (both topical and oral) for demodex. The topical did not work. In fact, it made it worse because it clogged my pores. The oral treatment is the textbook method for treatment and seemed like it tamed it. But the sores wouldn't heal. That's when I got the LED Mask and used it and they all finally healed and stayed gone. I just had a minor breakout last week after not using the mask for a few months and have no idea what the trigger could've been except possibly being out in the sun too long, which can cause rosacea to flare.
@Kiki RNHello there! Funny enough that you posted here today after some timeI was just coming to relay my own experience with this terrible issue were all suffering from. Was thinking about you bcI did try the betadine and bought an LED mask but only stuck with it for a couple of weeks bc I had a derm appointment (3rd different doc) during which I was prescribed an oral antibiotic (Doxycycline) along with a topical antibiotic that I was already applying to very red, inflamed areas.
Both increase sensitivity to light soI was responsible and followed my doctors instructions and put aside the LED mask.
Short version - the antibiotics did nothing and so Im going to try the betadine and LED mask route again.
LONGER version - I stayed with the oral doxy for 2 months and have seen NO difference to the primarily issue - the PLUGS. Luckily I did not experience any GI issues nor did it worsen my skin except I do have a bit more congested and clogged pores (more traditional acne, it comes and goes, not worried about it) . But from the conversations with the doctor and also online research, the antibiotics usually have a pretty immediate effect. So Im pretty sure this is NOT a bacterial issue. Its possible I was prescribed this however bc in an effort to extract some of this plugs (ie..picking), I WAS causing infections. So now I have less raw, bloody lesions and am back at square one, the hard plugs that HURT and do not go away.
So a week or so ago I went back to one thing I discovered here and another similar thread - CLOTRIMAZOLE Cream!!
Its the anti-fungal that can be found in the foot care aisle at any drugstore. Lotrimin is the most popular brandname I see but I buy the generic version (Walgreens, CVS, where ever I am). There is Butenafine Hydrocloride as well but only CLOTRIMAZOLEhas worked for me. I stopped using it bc I had a skin biopsy done and nothing fungal was identified so I thought maybe the cream effect was in my head. But after 2 months of the anti-biotic making no difference and still having painful, ugly ass lesions, I came across a tube of CLOTRIMAZOLE from before and said - what the hell. And its been helping!
To be clear (no pun intended) it has NOT cured my skin completely. But when I have a painful lesion that stings when washing my face and the most gentle moisturizer, Ive applied this cream and its so soothing. In a day, Ive noticed less inflammation and the area has calmed down.
In a few more days (usually after a warm shower, steam) I can see some oozing out of the plugs, the pain is substantially less and sometimes exfoliating with just my wet fingers in the shower results in extraction of a hard keratin like core. Not always though and I have to be committed to NOT try to squeeze anything. But this is not always easy, I completely understand. Many times even if I dont SEE anything,I can still feel something under the skin which is why I say this isnt a CURE. Its not solving the underlying issue but for now, my face is not covered with open wounds that HURT and weep. I dont have the intense feeling of something that I NEED to DIG out. But again, I do want to stress that if I start feeling around for bumps and such, I DO feel them and can absolutely be lured into a session of wanting to pull out the plugs. If I do manage to get out what seems like the main plug, there is a rush of blood, intense relief and yesthe lesions seem to heal. But its been about 4 years of me doing this and the attempts to extract them has caused me to damage so much surrounded skin. Now at least I can just go about my day and not look like a zombie.
Sorry for the long post but in short - if anyone hasnt tried CLOTRIMAZOLE, please do. Its fairly inexpensive and if nothing else, it has felt extremely soothing to my most painful lesions. There are several OTC anti fungal medications, the other ones didnt work for me and Butenafine in particularly STUNG like a mother-fer.
I am going to start the LED mask treatment today and will check back in with yall in a few weeks.
Hi guys, I have started using the Acne products from Mario Badescu, especially the drying cream which I put on the spots 2-3 times a day...it dries out the lesions incredibly fast...I actually can't believe it. I clean my face with the Acne cleanser in the mornings and evenings and over night I apply the buffering lotion on my face, back and shoulders ...my skin is finally healing. Honestly, I haven't had such a smooth skin in years. I am not sure which ingredients cause this miracle, but Mario Badescu's products are considered 'clean' beauty products with only a limited number of ingredients. I know we have all tried a lot here and wasted so much money, but I highly recommend to invest in this acne product line, which is actually designed for cystic acne. Especially the buffering lotion targets the core deep under the skin, before it even becomes visible. I have to say that I have forgotten how it is waking up in the morning, and not being worried how my face looks like...today was actually the first time in years that I went outside without any make up. Seeing my skin improving every day is so delightful. I hope so much, the products will help you, too...and if they do, please let me know.

I am so sorry you are going through this and I know your pain! The pictures posted above resonate so much with me! Just a few months ago my face was so horrible but this is 100% muscullum contagiosum. I have been dealing with MC for the last three years with no end in site and had been misdiagnosed with cystic acne, OCD picking disorder? and basal cell carcinoma when it wasn't any of the above. I determined I got the virus from my ex boyfriend who went to a public gym daily, as this is contracted from close contact with other ppl (shared towels, public places like gyms, babies commonly get it at daycares, etc.). I ended up self diagnosing myself and I had all the symptoms you've been experiencing. You need to buy 40% salycilic acid which is the same formulation used for removal of warts. This is a virus called "poxvirus" also known as muscullum contagiosum or "water warts." They are highly contagious which is why when you try to pick the "whitehead center" it only causes cellulitis as the plugs are burrowed under your skin and spreads across your face. Do not try to pop them. There's nothing to pop. You have to let the viral spots run course, dry up and then buy straight nose tweezers and "cleanly pull up and out" all the little white plugs in order for the spot to close and heal. Also, apply yellow bottle of muscullum contagiosum liquid from Amazon many times a day, and then apply the wart stick salycilic acid overnight covered with bandaid. It will burn but it will heal your wounds and close the spots. Long term scarring can be reduced by using a salycilic acid chemical peel on the spots and/or glycolic acid daily wipes will eventually reduce the scarring in fair/Caucasian skin. Wishing you the best.
I just wanted to chime in a bit..
First off, I found this thread last year. I have had issues since high school but NEVER gave it any thought. I am 36 now. Anyway, when this all started I thought I was just plagued with HORRIBLE ingrown hairs and never had the plugging. They always came back and most would go away on their own. I've had quite a few removed surgically, over the years. In 2019 is when $hi+ got BAD! ONE AFTER ANOTHER and they would swell up. That's when I noticed the plugging.. due to the top layer of skin just coming off. Yes, I thought they were pimple cores, yes I thought they were inflamed hair follicles etc. etc.
When I started googling and came across this forum as well as other similar ones, I wrote down and took screen shots OF EVERYTHING that was recommended. I was ALREADY on spironolactone ( WHICH DID NOTHING). I was and am, still at my witts end. The lesions are never healed, one after another and usually 5 or 6 at a time ( mostly on my face) and in some areas I'd rather not mention. (ALL OF THEM HAVE PLUGS) HUNDREDS OF PLUGS!! I digress, I tried the fungal route and EVERYTHING else on this thread.
Here it goes!!
It's NOT demodex, it's NOT candida
here me out because I myself DID NOT WANT TO BELIEVE THIS
ITS MORGELLONS
YES, IT IS 100% REAL
I AM NOT ON DRUGS NEVER HAVE
I DONT DRINK AND I WENT TO SCHOOL FOR MEDICAL LAB SCIENCE!! IM NOT CRAZY OR AN IDIOT!! Listen, I saw a few people always mentioning the taboo subject of morgellons.. of course I looked it up as I did WITH E EVERYTHING else on here.. discoid lupus, lichen sclerosis, demodex etc. I dismissed morgellons when the good ol' internet said "its a delusional disorder" so I dismissed it ( a handful of times) long story short..GET A MICROSCOPE ( cheap one on Amazon) to rule this out. That's when I saw all the fibers embedded WITHIN these plugs I was pulling out! The cdc study was/is a COMPLETE half a$$ JOKE! EXTREMELY FLAWED!! YES, THIS IS REAL, IT'S FROM TICKS. I FOUND A LYME LITERATE DOCTOR after contacting charles e holman foundation AND although I was not CDC positive for lyme, I had 4 markers/bands SPECIFIC TO ONLY BORRELLIA BURGDORFERI!!! 3 of which indicate a past exposure/infection and one that indicates A CURRENT INFECTION! YES ( cdc requires 5 bands) YOU CAN HAVE CO INFECTIONS.. RELAPSING FEVER (BARTONELLA) OTHER FORMS AS WELL!! This is A NIGHTMARE for so many reasons. I have been bit by ticks NUMEROUS times but when I was in high school is when my backyard was LOADED!! The dogs use to sleep in my room when I was a teenager and long story short, that's when the infestation started. Although I found ticks on me ( I never had the typical bullseye rash) I brushed it off. The dogs were treated, the yard was sprayed and the ticks were gone!! However, MY LIFE CHANGED! I never ever thought anything in the beginning. VERTIGO, NUMB HANDS/FEET, tingling and loss of sensation in my legs, migraines and headaches, massive stomach issues, anxiety, brain fog.. I can go on because I have a laundry list of symptoms. GET A MICROSCOPE TO RULE OUT MORGELLONS!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY URGE YOU PEOPLE TO DO SO! MORGELLONS IS REAL!! A BAZILLION TIMES REAL! I am hoping that NOT everyone on this thread has it. The keratin plugging can be from a plethora of things. HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATELY for me, it is 100% morgellons.. Also, look up BOVINE DIGITAL DERMATITIS, it is very similar to MORGELLONS except it effects cattle/herd animals. Please DO NOT DISMISS THIS BEING MORGELLONS, BECAUSE I DID!! Again, I thought it was a psychological issue, IT IS NOT!! I get that some people might think they have it and dont but considering the plugging alone, if you have the plugging, get yourself a microscope ASAP!! To be honest even when I got the microscope. I THOUGHT I just had multiple hairs within these plugs.. most of them being white and black.. so even with the microscope I dismissed it.. UNTIL I SAW THE RED AND BLUE ONES!! THIS is NOT something I am imagining.. .MY HUSBAND CAN EVEN SEE THIS CRAP!! THEY ARE INSIDE THE PLUGS!! sorry this was lengthy! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, GET A MICROSCOPE!! DO NOT DISMISS MORGELLONS UNTIL YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF!!
I received an email from an individual that talked about the yellow gelatinous stuff that can be found under your skin when you are in full blown illness. If you've had it - you know what I am talking about. I told this person not to touch that stuff, as I think it might be a source of spreading - but I have no idea. I do know that the shit is terrifying. You can clearly see that it is not normal. If you try to pull out - ohhhhhh (bad chills) - causes the "hole" looking appearance in skin, and you will never actually get it all out. Best bet is to leave it alone.
Charles Holman Foundation - Why can't anyone take samples of this? No one should be bringing in samples from outside the laboratory - everything ought to be conducted inside of a lab - always. Do you have the means CHF? If you don't, let us know what you need - not just generally - "we need donations" - but how much more would you need to accomplish valid and reliable studies with good sample sizes?
Total side-note.....I have had plastic surgery on a morgellons scar on my face, "scar removal", 3 years ago/2019. It had been years since spot originated, it had skin over it, but still had the perimeter shit. Procedure turned out well, did not cause an explosion or worsen condition. I do still have hairs that occasionally make their way out of surgery line (with bumps or itching), but nothing like the original bastard.
P.S. THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH ALL CAPS WRITING IN THIS WORLD. IT REALLY DOES GIVE ANOTHER SOMETHING - don't you think?

Yea, I tend to be a little dramatic with my all caps lol. I pretty much type how I talk/ say things in my head.. PLUS, I'M ANGRY AND NEED TO EMPHASIZE ON SAID ANGER!!
See..
I've had some surgically removed and YES, they have come back 8 out of 10 times. All these years I was in the dark and I never, IN A MILLION YEARS, EVER, thought something like this ( morgellons) would've been the reason. Before I thought it was morgellons, I thought it was H.S. (hidridenitis supprativa) ok, probably spelled that wrong and don't wanna lose this page to spell check it. Anyway, since it was on my face the "DR" said "H.S. isn't on the face"
Well, Dr. FK. TARD, what is on the other parts of my body is exactly what's on my face. When I proceeded to tell him I was pulling out the white plugs. He literally put his hand on my shoulder and said (and I quote verbatim) " You don't think you have parasites, do you? We had to send one lady to a psychiatrist for that issue".) I dropped it and didn't think anything at the time. That was shortly before I started my excessive googling. Obviously people in my area have this. That wasn't my last or first time hearing about the plugging. I had a facial once and the lady asked if I had just washed my face/used a towel.. I was like NO, why? "Well, your face is really, REALLY, linty".. umm, ok. Lol. There have been other occasions but no point. I have been on antibiotics for about a year and NOTHING!!! I also tried cryptolepis, NOTHING!!
I've had biopsies in the past..
It is NOT basal cell carcinoma.. at least not in MY case. I know morgellons sounds like "make believe" due to the fact it has been neglected, the study was a joke, highly flawed and the CDC has nothing but idiots!! I get there are some people who might actually be bat $#it crazy, or have another condition entirely.. yet they seem to think they have Morgellons and in reality they don't. I just really want to encourage people to get a microscope and just see for themselves. For me the fibers (which is produced BY THE BODY BTW).. and composed of keratin/collagen) were.. and still are INSIDE these white plugs ( keratin plugs) but they over proliferate and hurt like hell. If the fibers are inside these plugs for anyone reading this.. PLEASE LOOK INTO MORGELLONS/LYME!! I wish I didn't ignore it.... it's NOT a delusional disorder.. I only wish that were the case
What can happen when you find a smart doctor (or researcher) with impetus: article is about how monkey pox was first diagnosed in the US - which is pretty amazing. Note that they took skin biopsies and found nothing - until they knew what to test for.
The link didn't work. I'm seeing a lyme literate doctor at the moment. I've tried a handful of antibiotics then tried cryptolepis for 4 months.. now I'm on dapsone. It's only been 4 weeks but my lesions aren't as bad when I was on cryptolepis. I have another appointment with her on the 21st of this month.
Meant to say my lesions were worse while on crypto.. before I figured out this was morgellons I was on doxy due to the fact I thought it was H.S. it did nothing
