Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I have gone through your medical history and understood your concerns.
Skin parasites are many types and they are usual in tropical countries.
If you can send pictures and all medical data you have for your case would be great. Can you please tell if:
- you travelled in other places recently?
- you have been in contact with other infected people or animals?
Cutaneous myiasis involves the larvae's of two-winged flies. These flies are native in South and Central XXXXXXX Usually, they don't lay their eggs on humans but there are species that can affect humans too.
Eggs grow into larves and when they get mature they can reach a size of 1-2 cm. When left untreated the larves tend to emerge the skin and drop to the ground to continue the life cycle.
Symptoms include itching, sensations of move in the skin and sometimes pain.
Dermatobia hominis is the species that affects humans. These parasites need oxygen in order to develop to they like to resituate in face or other body parts that are uncovered by clothes.
Larvae may get extracted by small incisions. Ivermectin topical or oral may kill the parasite. Died larvae must be removed because they trigger inflammation.
Before admitting psychological issues, we should rule out parasitic manifestations first.
Looking forward to have the requested pictures in.

Also, it does transfer to my hands. before I used gloves, everytime I washed my face, the palms of my hands would break out.
One other note - when I dab water on my face, anywhere, all the debris/hairs underneath will rise to the surface immediately. Most of it resembles nits from head lice, the only parasite I've had first hand experience with. This was originally diagnosed as scabies, but its obvious even to someone who isn't educated in the subject that my symptoms are no longer fitting scabies.

Hi back my dear,
Can send the photos at following e-mail address:
YYYY@YYYY
with subject line: "Attn. to Dr.Albana Sejdini".
Thank you.
Its become quite obvious that the white hairs are there to protect whatever is underneath.. They are reproducing faster than I can wipe them off, some literally go shooting off my face because its trying to rebuild so quickly. The one black "worm" I sent is a smaller one, the largest was about 4 times bigger. I'm still looking for better pictures, but please let me know what you are thinking.. For 72 hours straight, no sleep, I have been trying to clean something off my face that is reproducing too fast
I want to make this point as clear as possible: The red irritated spots are NOT caused by me washing it. They are already there and once I get whatever is trapped underneath that particular red spot out, my skin goes back to normal color.
Skin scrapping examination/biopsy as further diagnostic step.....

Hi back my dear,
Thank you for providing the requested photo. Unfortunately, I admit their quality was not good enough to detect details.
From what I have seen so far, I noted as following:
- your skin is very dry with flaky white appearance. You should use a hydrant skin cleanser and apply moisturizers each time you wash it.
- the black spot there, seems more like dirties entrapped in the skin. As I cannot touch or close evaluate it, I cannot judge if it is a parasite debris or not for the moment. But, what I think is that the skin in your face is very dry and make it more prone to impurities get entrapped. This explains why the skin gets back to normal after washing and removing the black spots.
At this point, I highly recommend to keep your face well clean and hydrated. If it will persist again, then, examination of skin scrappin is recommended or biopsy as further evaluation.
Can discuss this with your doctor.
Hope it helps.
