We are not entirely sure what our reader means by “lipnotes”, though we suppose he might mean his lymph nodes. In any case, we will help our reader in the ways that we can. What we mean by this is that we will unfortunately not be able to provide any direct help, such as identifying the creatures or suggesting medications, as we are not medical professionals. In other words, we are not qualified to help a reader who describes suffering from symptoms, or who suggests that worms are inside their body. That said, what we can do to help is to suggest some places he can go for a medical professional’s opinion and help.
In this particular case, we would advise that he consult a medical parasitologist, as they will have a better grasp on organisms infecting the body than a GP or ER doctor. So, what we can recommend is that our reader do one or more of the following:
1) Search for a medical parasitologist in their area using this directory of medical parasitology consultants: https://www.astmh.org/for-astmh-members/clinical-consultants-directory.
2) Search for a local parasitologist by doing a Google search for “medical parasitologist (name of the closest big city)” or “tropical medicine specialist (name of the closest big city)”.
3) Get in touch with Dr. Omar Amin at the Parasitology Center at https://www.parasitetesting.com.
In conclusion, we sympathise with our reader and his condition, but there is unfortunately little we can do so far as directly easing his discomfort. That said, we hope that he can find the relief he is looking for by following one of the links provided above, and we wish him the very best.

I too am experiencing MANY symptoms the same I know I’m not crazy and have taken many samples and pics as I’m sick of drs turning me away…..am I going to die from this?
Hello all, I’m absolutely sure I have this. Found the site through an image search, several ERs, 2 ENTs and my mental health being questioned. I’m not sure if anyone has found a solution but in my case I started taking 3 teaspoons of all natural coconut oil. Day 3 my nose appears to be clear, thyroid area is slightly swollen still but I can talk now. Basically no one believes me. I’m not sure if the coconut oil is killing them but they do not like the fatty and lauric acids. Currently the concentration seems to be in or near my ear which means they use the lymph node system for travel and can go in and out from nose and throat as needed. I’m thinking about seeing a infectious disease doctor but haven’t scheduled yet. Any other advise would be helpful but the coconut oil does give relief.
Did any of you ever get any help or information on these things? I’m desperate. And every time I see anything about this on this website they say for us to see a doctor but the doctors aren’t helping. They say I’m delusional or crazy. But these things are real. I am at my wits end.
Me as well. Zero help from medical doctors or dermatologists. Ive begged, cried, raged to no avail :( How are you now? Im 3 years in with active destruction. ca********@gm***.com

Same here in Texas..a living nightmare..3 doctors all ended with severe allergies and steroids and shot..little things help but have not been able to rid myself of this plague on my entire body..endocrinologist is my next hope at healing.
I have been pucking at my fingers since 2018 with those things crawling under my skin, the ER said, i dont see anything, go see your primary, went to walk in clinic, same thing. I first noticed my pours changed color, dark, now they are from head to toe and i am always picking looking, taking pics, in my eyes nose. What are they? Breathing, heart problems now joints hurt like hell. They need to help us not turn is away.
I have the same issues going on. Almost exactly what was described. Drs only think that I have a screw loose.
