Parasites image8 I've posted a different picture of the same problem which gives a discription of my problems. Basically, they are the most painful things I've ever encountered in my body-including giving birth.they feel like little pieces of glass stuck in my skin. When I remove them, it instantly feels better and then that spot will heal in about a day or two. Now I just have so many and when I remove them, more just keep coming. I'm on my third round of ivermectin which at first seems to help but after treatment ends these "white spike things" return. Infectious disease doctor, dermatologist didn't scrape or biopsy my skin. They had no idea what it was and didn't really seem to care to find out. Family doctor thank God is trying to do what he can but this isn't his area of excellence. If you have any idea or thoughts on what this could be or how to treat it, or are suffering with this too, please let me know.
