Suggest Treatment For Sores On Body Due To Morgellons
I have what I believe to be Morgellons . My doctor diagnosed me with a fungal infection with staph. But, the medication is not helping... I seem to be getting more sores, I m always tired, I have what looks like strings coming out of my body and little black dots.. I have cleaned and washed Everything in my house, I even used lice shampoo on my hair and body before I went to doctor afraid I had scabies. I m afraid to tell my doctor or show him this stuff, caz from all I read about Morgellans, doctors don t even believe it exists! What should I do?

Hi,
It is delusion of parasitosis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It is a psychological condition in which patient firmly believes that he has some parasites on the skin and he feels crawling sensation. You may take opinion of psychiatrist also. Both the specialists might give perfect treatment after reviewing your case.
Hope this helps.
