Suggest Treatment For Skin Disease

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

I have for the past 5 months been bothered by a skin disorder that neither my primary doctor nor dermatoligist can determine what it is.



I originally back in april has a skin lesion on my scalp that scabbed over and I thought nothing of it...A few eeks later I had large sores that itched and were inflamed on the sides of my arm and it began to spread to my back and legs, and chest and scalp. It was a very unsual presentation of sores and bite like lesions that became highly infalamed and would not heal like a normal bite or sore.



The doctor could not determine what it was and gave me permethrin cream to treat for mites or ???? she didn't know, becuse she said it didn't look like mites.

I have no animals am exceptionally clean and have never been bothered with skin conditions in my life..I am 63 years old and have always been healthy. The oly medication I have taken since I was 16 years is synthroid for my thyroid.



After 5 tubes of permethrin cream to treat my scalp and skin..still the rash and lesions would pop up.



She sent me to a dermatologist who took skin scrappings and she found nothing.



I than began doing research on my own and bought a microscope at Toys are us and began taking samples of dark pepper like specs that would come out of my face and skin areas..Could this be larve, or feces of the mite or organism that is causing my problems I thought.



Over the past month I have had considerable movement under my skin, as if something is crawling and eruptions with a white pin point center that erupts and opens to form a lesion like sore...I have put specs under the microscope and it looks as if it is a worm larve.



I am beside myself, because I am not imagining this..I feel movement on my scalp and facial area, and a pin prick biting sensation at times that makes be belive something under my skin is moving and feeding and this creates the sting biting sensation..My question is please what is this and why can't the dr's figure it out and not do tests to determijne what this condition is.



I am an intelligent woman and know my body and there is something wrong ..



I wash my clothes and bedding daily and am exhausted from disinfecting everything so that I don't infect anyone, just incase this is contagious...



My primnary Dr has suggested I see a infectious disease specialist....



What do you think this could be? and how do I get rid of it..? I currently have bite like pimples and or rash on my scalp, face, ear,arms chest,legs and back.....Some look like tracks run........bite marks..others look like pimples, and others look like a rash.....



It does not itch either.



I have gone on the internet and researched very skin cinditions and the dermotologist says no to dermodex mites, no to scabbies mite.



Right now I have a terrible crawling sensation on my face, as if something is under it and moving around..This is not normal and something is wrong..Please HELP!!
