Here is a example of a "itchy hair" that was pulled out from skin! This was from my arm, I am a white woman with blonde hairs on arm. Does anyone else have this
From the tape, I am now having small tiny brown spikes leave my skin. Not sure what is happening but I believe the tiny brown spikes are deep deep in the skin, as it comes to the surface I can feel the sting, I believe this is some kind of tiny root that is a virus maybe? When that is gone, the whole area heals quickly and I haven't had a new break out in the area. I just wish I had a name for this "infection/virus"
@25years can you please share a picture of the "brown spikes" that are emerging from your skin? I have the same opinion regarding there being a "root". I currently have one bump with a small hole. Nothing comes out (aside from some blood/clear fluid), however when I pinch my skin I can feel what can be best described as a "stalk"/root that's deep in my skin. When I had one of these "bumps" previously (no visible plug as it was very deep) it stayed for months and then over time it just disappeared. Hope you could share a photo of what it looks like!

I will! It is kinda like little sticks, please use the athletic tape! Trying to pull out the root stick thing your self will take months on months! The tape pulls it to surface! Take a bath in apple cider vinegar and baking soda and soak for a hour. You will literally see the side of the tub will be filled of them! Then rinse in the shower with only water!
look up sporotrichosis. Ive been battling this for 2 years and I finally figured it out. Pictures match and everything. Theres a lot of information on Google.
SPOROTRICHOSIS
Is there a cure? The pictures do match. With the athletic tape I been using the wounds do not get that bad anymore, it draws it out, but I can't figure out how to stop the break outs from the inside

This is a tiny one, these bastards sting from the inside out so bad
Here is a example of what I'm suffering from, this area is still bad, the pain is the worst part of it
This is a tube thing, when this is pulled out it causes horrible bleeding, this is located deeper in the skin, I believe this is a alive stick thing. Once they die they harden on the inside
Hello,A
I've been having this problem for a number of years now and have yet to find an answer.A
I often get hard lumps or what I think is going to be a huge spot. However if I squeeze them, as well as popping like a normal spot, the top layer of skin comes off and I'm left with an open sore. Inside this sore are little white plugs that seem to be growing out of the pores. There are usually a number of them in one sore. These cannot be squeezed out like a regular blackhead or whitehead they seem to be stuck in there and the only way to get them out is with a pair of tweezers or to really dig them out with an implement. This of course leaves a scar but until these little white plugs are out, the sore won't heal. I have tried just leaving them to see if they will heal and go away on their own but they don't. The sore remains open and weepy with these little grains of rice sticking out of them! So I resort to digging them out and once they are out of the pore there's usually a gush of blood but that stops quite suddenly. It reminds me of a verruca if anyone has ever pulled a plug out from that...A
I mostly get these on my chin but also sometimes on my nose and chest. I know that a dermatologist may be able to help me but I don't have any money right now and I am on sickness benefits as I have M.E.
Does anyone have any idea what these things are? They're kind of jelly like and slightly stretchy. The tweezers just seems to take the head of them off more often than not hence the digging which I absolutely hate but it seems to be the only way to get them out and once they are out the sore will heal.A
I have attached picturesof them on my hand after I get them out, sorry for the super close ups!A
Hi I also have this problem and have no idea what they are but have learned a few things on my own, my theory is that it's a fungus of some sort and a anti fungal ointment usually works... Also spraying the wound with peroxide multiple times seems to reveal them... I've also learned that their also sometimes on your hair follicles also this could ultimately be caused by dexiderm.....
@25years Eh, this is what I'm pulling out, too 🙁
I'm currently trying topical Metronidazole. Will see if it helps at all.
@skinshit I just started itraconasole today, I will let u know if this works.... Something has to work!!!!?!

Have you tried the tape? I'm curious to see what you think
@25years I have tried the tape, admittedly for only a few days and only a few hours at a time (at night) because my "lesions" have never been below my neck. The lesions I've had on my neck are gone (currently dealing with 1 scab that I cover with make up). I don't know what ultimately cleared them up as I tried a list of various random things (I never used tape on those). Here's what I can say: back when I had lesions on my neck, I spent some days wearing make-up (foundation/concealer) for 10+ hours, and other days I stayed home with no make-up on. I noticed that the lesions actually looked better/seemed to be clearing up after the days I WORE make-up (I would've expected it to be the other way around!). Currently, I only have 1 lesion on my jaw line that's very superficial. I had pulled out a few "rice grains" from it a few days/week ago. It's practically only a flat scab now. It's my second day using metronidazole on it & it seems to look better, but I can't be certain just yet. As you know, these things have a way of looking "better" and then flaring back up all of a sudden especially if all the "plugs" aren't out. Will update.
The second lesion I have is on my face with the "plug" super deep under the skin. It feels like there are at least 3 roots/stalks deep underneath. I have tried tape on it which doesn't seem to be working because (1) I can't put tape on it for more than ~8 hours (I need to go out in public) (2) the tape comes off very easily since oil production, etc. and (3) as mentioned it's VERY deep. Does the tape work for you when it comes to the deeper plugs or are you only dealing with more superficial ones? I no longer have any superficial ones with the multiple small "grains of rice" very visible.
It's interesting that the tape works for you, and seemingly covering it with make-up MAY have worked on mine (although not sure how true that is). I think there are 2 possible reasons why the tape works. Either (1) oxygen deprivation is "killing" whatever "it" is or (2) something in the glue of the tape is drawing the lesions out. I read that there is zinc-oxide in the glue that's on athletic tape. Interestingly enough, I also used diaper rash cream on prior lesions (also contains zinc oxide) AND many (if not most) foundation contains zinc-oxide! I did notice an improvement after using diaper rash cream (I used Target brand in purple tube, super cheap), but I can't say that the diaper rash cream was solely responsible for clearing it up. I would definitely recommend everyone try diaper rash cream though as it's a potentially cheap fix - I slept with it lathered on for at least a week if not more!
I have tried oral fluconazole & that did not work for me. Please let me know how the itraconazole works for you! Thanks for brainstorming with me!
Edited to add: The target brand of diaper rash cream is 40% zinc oxide which is important to note as I was previously using 10% and didn't notice any changes then, so I'd try to find the highest percent of zinc oxide as possible.
I am so happy i came across this! I have been getting the same stuff, and it's been like 6 months. Driving myself crazy. I feel like i look like im on drugs whenever i leave the house. Even if we aren't 100% sure what it is, at least i know im not alone!
I had what i think was pink eye then got spots around my eyes that the doctor didn't know anything about. Then not long after my face was covered then my body to follow. There are 2 pics of the "pink eye" and the spots by my eye mixed in the pics.
I lost some of my eyebrows too. I kept saying it was like my skin didn't wanna fall off so it was clogging all my eyebrow hairs trying to grow in. Like one big ingrown hair that somehow was also full of white heads but onr but white head. That's just the eye brow explanation tho...
And it's like the "clogged pores" pop when you scratch them sometimes. So many symptoms tho! And finally im not alone!
Thank you!

Yes you look like me, try the athletic tape! Keep doing it and please tell me what you think. I have seen some weird shit come out of my body, the tape has been my only relief. As soon as a area itches put it on

I found the powder form of zinc oxide, I wonder if I took a bath in it I already ordered it from Amazon, it's pure. I will let you know what I think of it.
@25years You beat me to it, I was going to order 100% zinc oxide powder! I was going to mix the powder into something like vaseline or some sort of basic ointment & leave it on at least overnight (similar how you leave the tape!). Please let me know if its worth trying.
I have noticed it is better to have dry skin, it's like it feeds on moisture! Recently I read about salt water, I bought a box of regular salt and been adding only this to my bath and have noticed a difference! For some reason it works, I want to buy some good salt those, some real sea salt or something
@25years I have noticed the same - it seems to heal (or at least not get worse) if you keep your skin extra dry (i.e. covered in make up) vs. moisturizing!

The zinc oxide powder works! For the first time in years I shaved my legs without my legs itchy afterwards. I have only used the powder twice and I'm impressed! I would say, take a shower and wash your body then sit in the bath. It does put a small film across your body which does make my skin softer. I will definitely buy more so far
@25years How is it going? Are you still having gradual improvement in existing spots?
@25years How is it going? Are you still having gradual improvement in existing spots?
Yes, slow and steady lol, I am still on the tape, this has really helped me! I kinda feel like if I would have wrapped my entire body for a month I would have been completely healed! The good areas are now my bad areas! The meds do make my stomach hurt, like nausea. How are you? Whats working or not working?
I wrapped myself up in the athletic tape for 24 hours (I had to replace a few pieces due to the itching), when I took off the tape I took a bath with baking soda, I didn't put my hair in the water. As I'm soaking so many of those hair worm things were floating in the tub, I took a pic of a few of them. Not sure what is happening but I do know those hairs under the skin is what is causing the break outs in that area. When the hair thing is gone that area feels so much better and clears up without future break outs. Has anyone else experienced this
@25years turn myself in to apple cobler check...
Lol, , it really is working! I'm shocked at the results, and cheap! I been going to doctor to doctor for 20 years. Try it and please let me know your results
i was given Fluconazole 150mg one every 3 days for 8 pills , um i still pull 300 to a thousand out daily so ?!? the smell changed i guess , I'm thinking the fungi = culmination of all the antibiotics attacking my MRSA. i want to propose a new trial. so ihave rust in my body creating MRSA being eaten by a yeast infection that creates bacteria that makes alcohol. so i want to make a dialysis machine hooked in line to a tissue generator. run one of our blood in it , then make a heart valve , attack it with RUST / MRSA the Canadia disease then hit it with horseshoe crab blood Limulus Amebocyte Lysate and see if it cuts off the food to both infections. and with out killing the heart valve. then if it works we sell it to Elon Musk as a way of turning the rust on mars in to sub strait with bio-mater / bacteria and convert mars in to soil under a unfurling dome pressurized by the chemical reaction of fuel being made.
