Suggest Treatment For Parasitic Infection
Question: Hello Dr.
My wife and I have contacted the same fungus and parasites from our mold and bug infested home. We're moving asap!
Hi, My name's XXXX and we have no insurance or money to waste so i sincerely hope I get some accurate analysis with good advice. I apologize for any irrelevant or unclear information about the subject. I'm doing my best.
We've developed a fungus I think that originated from my toenails. Little tiny brown dots appear on my skin and move towards my nails and into the cuticle bed lining of my fingernails and toenails.
They're very painful and hard to dig out. also under the skin trails of white lines filled with fluid have started to appear as well as lesions or little blemishes that are all over the body just under the skin. This possibility started as a result of the mold.
I have pictures.
first i will show the fungus. little tiny brown specks on the hands ,arms, and face.
Next the white lines and other abnormalities.
These little creatures live and travel under the skin. although, some are settled, they actually have a hair that appears to shair a hair follicles pour and growes a lengthy fiber. I noticed the long fiber in my leg and that's how I discovered the creature. Immediately I extracted the little bugger and started searching for more.
then i will show you a living creature i pulled out of my legs and arms.
It's very tiny. I have more pictures provided you're interested.
I've never attemped to utilize this type of service, so if I lose you I can be reached at 916 225 5689 or YYYY@YYYY .
thank you Dr.

Brief Answer:
It look like you have parasite infestation or delusion of parasitosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
I have gone through all images and detail information.
It does not look like fungus infection.
We need to exclude parasites infection. For proper diagnosis we need to examine skin scrapes under microscope.
Another condition, delusion of parasitosis must be excluded.
I sincerely advise you to consult dermatologist first, as physical examination is must in your case. I can understand your insurance problem.
Till that I advise to apply white petroleum jelly over affected area. It is effective in both the conditions, i mentioned. It will make thick layer over skin, which make parasite unable to breath. It leads to death of parasites.
You must not scratch or pick the skin as it may increase your condition.
You may also require some oral medicine, for which you need prescription of registered doctor.
I hope I have answered your question
Let me know if you have any query.
Regards
Dr Gaurav Patel
