Hello and welcome to HCM,
I read your query and understood your concern.
If you can observe pin prick like lesionson your skin and your mother has it too, it seems like you both are suffering from scabies, a mite infection.
Apply 5% permethrin whole body below neck at night, incluing fingers, genitals, leave for 12 hours and wash next day. Repeat after 3 days. wash all the bed sheets, towels and clothes you have worn since you got this infection. Apply one whole full bottle at one go.
There are numerous other conditions which may cause this condition like long standing diabetes, alcohol withdrawl, and menopause sometimes. In case you dont benefit from anti-scabies medicine, Talk to your psychiatrist and get morgellon's disease ruled out.
Hope I helped
