What Could Be The Cause For Nodules Around Eyelids?

I have nodules on and around my eyelids. Toxoplasma gondii life cycle is similar to most shapes of parasites found on upper level of skin and I see them in the sink when I wash my face, arms and hands. This came from a mosquito bite not from ingesting meat. There were several mosquitos in the meat department of a local grocery store that I had visited. This store struggled with fresh cuts types of meat going bad regularly. I know that these are usually internal worms but mine are on top and inside because I see them in the toilet. I am currently striving to deworm thru natural cleansers for internal and external. Are the parasites on my skin also possibly due to the mosquito bite verses ingestion\s? Microscopic worms wiggle around both inner and outer creases of my eyes, nose, mouth and cheeks. The bumps under upper layer skin look like round blisters to oval shaped warts and are spreading into corners and lower eyelids. It is difficult to get a diagnosis because this disease starts with animals so the veterinarians can t look at parasites from humans and most doctors aren t familiar with the disease because it starts with animals. The life cycle of above mentioned disease shows most of all of the magnified pictures of these parasites that are on my skin. I also have samples of them on tissue paper in zip lock bags. Can t get help from Dept. of Agriculture, Agriculture colleges can t help with tests and neither can the state health department. Trying to kill off parasites and rebuild my energy, also need to rebuild blood count because this attacks the blood systems. I had stopped having menstrual cycles but first 3 weeks for 2 1/2 weeks I thought my cycle restarted but now wonder if this was hemorrhaging. Not sure who in medical field to turn to. I haven t worked much and not at all during this skin infection and most free clinics don t have or take the time to listen to you or look at skin and within 3 minutes are trying to shove a prescription in your hand and you out the door. Frustrated. Any suggestions?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

In most cases, if you are a generally healthy person, no treatment is necessary unless your symptoms are severe or unusually persistent. If toxoplasmosis affects your eyes, your doctor may treat you with Pyrimethamine (Daraprim) combined with either Sulfadiazine (Microsulfon) or Clindamycin (Cleocin).

If you have a weakened immune system, your doctor will treat you with a combination of drugs to kill the Toxoplasma parasite. The usual treatment of choice is pyrimethamine combined with sulfadiazine. Other drugs that may be used include trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra), clindamycin and atovaquone (Mepron).

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sam Salahia, Dermatologist
