What Causes Infestation In Different Parts Of Body?

EVERYONE I KNOW THINK I 'M NUTS. I THINK I HAVE SOME SORT OF INFESTATION THAT IS EVERYWHERE. WHEN I SAY EVERYWHERE, I MEAN EYES, NOSE, MOUTH, EARS,SCALP, GUMS, AROUND AND UNDER MY FINGERNAILS AND TOENAILS, GENITALS, AND EVERYWHERE ELSE YOU AND I CAN THINK OF. WHAT COULD THIS BE?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM!

Are you having any symptoms? If you have symptoms like fever, weakness, bodyaches etc, that may suggest of some generalised infection.

However, in absence of any symptoms and if you just feel that you are infested, you might be needing a psychiatric opinion. There is nothing wrong in it as you might be suffering from some phobia and it can be get rid of with the help of Psychotherapy and medications.

Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar
