Help Needed Identifying parasite #871832

Asked June 06, 2024, 1:23 AM EDT

Infection started with (what looked like a small zit on my face in November. When I messed with that spot; things quickly started popping out of it....like little black seeds.  I still have that spot on my face 7 months later and the hairs on my head seem to go to it .  I assume they are carrying eggs/larvae, or something like that. The skin infection is all over my body but my feet and hair are the worse.  My hair has this silvery/white think spiky things that grow quickly and they hurt! They change shapes and move around.  It sounds crazy, right? Exactly why I can't get a doctor to take me seriously.  My feet hurt really bad and a few days ago they started swelling up.  Most of these parasites you can see and It is painful when they enter the body.   

I think I'm in a very advanced stage of this disease.   I can hardly see; my belly is bloated and hard, I've lost my sense of smell, my joints and muscles hurt, and I'm so tired. I need to find ANYONE who can n help diagnose me  


I have some photos that should help identify the parasite.
