We recently received some photographs from a reader who complains of black worms emerging from her skin. She said these worms have been causing itching for months. When she rubs Vaseline on her skin the worms come to the surface, but they burrow back in right after. She mentioned that she has been taking Reece’s Pinworm Medication, but she isn’t sure that it is helping. The first photo is a snapshot from the video she shared. it shows a tiny black worm-like organism emerging from the skin above her upper lip:
We are confused about a few details of our reader’s situation. From what we have heard from our reader, it seems as though her worm issues are skin-related. We have come to this conclusion because of the actual worm-like organism physically on her skin in the photo above and the itchiness she mentioned. We are confused about why she is taking pinworm medication. Pinworms are intestinal parasites that can cause itchiness, but the itchiness is usually in the anal area. Also, while pinworms can “emerge from the skin” they don’t come out of the pores of someone’s face as these creatures are. We aren’t sure if she is dealing with pinworms in addition to these black worms on her skin. Unfortunately, even if we were better informed about this situation, we still wouldn’t be of much help to our reader. We can’t offer assistance for a few reasons. The first and foremost being that we are not licensed medical professionals and are therefore not legally able to provide medical advice. Legality aside, we don’t feel comfortable analyzing symptoms and speculating on anyone’s health since we don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely to do so. Therefore, we think it would be best for our reader to visit a doctor about these black worms.

Our reader didn’t mention if she had already met with a doctor about these worms, but if she hasn’t then she might consider visiting a specialist rather than a general doctor. Travel infectious disease doctors are often more familiar with strange cases such as this one. To find one of these specialists our reader can do an Internet search for “travel infectious disease specialist [her location or nearest big city.]”
In conclusion, one of our readers wrote to us about some black worms that emerge from her skin and make her itchy. We recommend that she see a doctor who will be able to diagnose and treat her much more effectively and safely than we could even attempt to. We hope she finds herself back in good health soon!

Carpet beetles! I had the same thing and it’s madness getting diagnosed.
mee too, ive got specimens of all different parasitic organisms thats mysteriously entered my body only god knows how. with little to NONE information on these secretive critters. i’ve had strange feelings since about start 2019 end of 2018 with a whole range of different sometimes temporary side effects if i do something to upset the infections in my body. some may look like little hairs but im pretty sure hair doesn’t move and act like a live organism under a microscope does it? and if a 23 year old uneducated person of my stature can find these organisms and document them. why cant the medical industry. bad things can happen for some information that gets shared on these cancerous critters, i have a funny feeling if you’ve ever heard of something called biological engerneering then you probably know a tiny bit about this esoteric pain in the ass at hand. i’ve boiled it town to a biologicaly engineers parasite that targers specific races/genes to do either harm and essentially keep them quiet via making someone braindead with the holes eaten in their brains or put them 6 foot under with more sinister microscopic weapons or for the benifit for the host human to bush the boudrys of our genetic make ups for near next to superhuman abilitys. these genetically modified parasites and there life cycles are able to be altered/modified with essentially binary code to effectively influence your minds and decision making abilitys for the benifit of fraternal brotherhoods ect. dont you sometimes think things that are weird random coincadences are too coincidencly weird to be a coincadence?
to stop these itchy cunts i find abscabial lotion for body lice/mites has a fresh newish kind of feel and effect on the skin that lasts sometimes a week or two. after the bearing the unpleasant near tear worthy burn of a few thousand epidermal layers of your skin with the unpleasant lotion. It brings a foreign objects and infections of the skin to the surface and out of the pores but without very strict hygiene and sucseffully not agitating the affected areas during treament, exfoliation after washing lotions off and do it every day consistently(read directions) your efforts are essentially ineffective as i feel they grow back in strength and unfortunatly immunity to the treatment each time you use it so make it worth it. also try making your own coconut/ sodium bicarbonate body/face scrubs.
I personally know someone thats used steel wool and bleech top to toe in a baby pool outside.(litterally he was covered in blood from his mother desperately scrubbing at his skin). only way i know this for certain is because someone that was present during the ordeal filmed it without people noticing and a few of us brothers seen the video before our local police investigated the situation and charged and seized all videos of that nature from my local underground networks.
but thats fairly extreme but essentially it worked and I personally am yet to resort the to scuffed up skin and the bleach blonde albino hair personally but if the time comes and i feel like thats a option i need to take ill act accordingly. but i personally know someone who has been through this ordeal and ever since the weird shit happened to my “mate” ive known 18 years of the 23 years i’ve been here. he has never been the same. it’s been id say 2 -3 years and he is still (i mean least offence possible ray) weird and unusual towards EVERYONE.
to my knowledge there is no known 100% effective cure but there is ways to effectively manage their problems. and if your ever unsure make sure you document and try get visual evidence even specimen’s of exactly what’s your worried about to show the medical professionals you see. otherwise you’ll probably find yourself in a mental ward with a so called “psychosis or some chemically caused illnesses due to unbalanced levels of serotonin which leads to bipolar or what ever fucking label they want to put you behind gaslight people into near believing the deception and lies their fed to keep the order.
if you want more answers drink some apple cider vinegar and find the people who made these things (still searching) and ask them nicely to retrieve there parasitic brethren from my entity and jog on bud and i know this may seem a bit out there and you may speculate on some of my theories go ahead because their only theories not supported factual theories. in my head after two years of self teaching about every single subject talked about i come to these conculsions. trust me i’ve explored every other avenue of throught around this subject and this is the only half plausible theory that i can evaluate from these chain of events. sorry about the punctuation but i dont give a fuck really, no cunt pays me for writing this essay(i could write pages about these subjects but i treid to keep it brief as possible.) goodluck
My wife an I have the same problem with these black worms. I’ve been to the emergency room 11 times am to the doctor 10 times an the doctor referred me to infectious disease doctor who would except us. Can’t wait till the itchiness stops been a year now
