What Causes Increased Crawling Sensation In The Scalp?

Posted on Wed, 28 Jun 2017

Question: can parasites come out of the body from a sore in the scalp and reside in hair. I have something in my hair which causes it to move. When I comb my hair it resists and can hold a comb. I believe it's more than Morgellons Disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!I have been through your question

Related your concern and based on your data I think that the most probably this could be Morgellons disease.

Please could you send me a picture of this sore in your head and if it possible the parasite.

In my experience I never see a patient that have an open sore in head with parasites but usually I have seen in other place of body.

I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
Regards.

I understand that it may be Morgellons disease, however the movement is much more than what Morgellons describes. I can actually feel the movement as I comb hair and my hair is also dark in some areas which feel wet or oily than other parts. My hair also bends and stays in position when i manipulate it. Could a parasite be a possibility?

Hello!Thank you writing back.
I am sorry for my late response.

You should know that the most probably parasites that can live in the hair are head lice . So, I suggest to meet a dermatologist to exclude it.

I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
