I have something that is biting me on my body. It is in my hair and on my body and in my clothing. What ever it is it bites or stings and feels like it buries in my skin. I can feel it walking on my skin. it falls from my hair and I can feel it on my clothing when it falls. When i go to pick it off it goes into the clothing. It looks white and sometimes black. It looks alot like lint. When I feel it biting or a sting it looks like a little black dot. and when I see it in my hair it looks white or shinny. I have used lice shampoo creams. I have been to a skin doc, my primary doc and a vet skin doc for my dog because I thought it might be mites. but I have not been able to get this problem away. Please if anyone knows what this is or a solution that might help please tell let me know. I have been dealing with this for about 8 months now. like I said its in my hair, on every part of my body that has hair even my eye lashes everywhere. please help. thank you

you should see a doctor again and get proper medication.

you should disinfect your house. maybe it comes back because they are still in your house.

It sounds like delusional parasitosis. You may want to consider seeing a psychiatrist.

No I see one and that is not it. I did think about that but they are not just on me they are also on my son. They are in the house around the kitchen and bathrooms and on wood.

You have really talked with a psychiatrist in his office, and he said what?

What have other doctors told you?

I can imagine how awful this must be for you! Do you see any marks on your skin or little burrows under your skin from whatever it is that you feel crawling on you? Have you been depressed about something lately or in the past?

my psychiatrist referred me to my primary doc to get some blood work done, because this all stared after i got back from the domican republic. I first went to the dermitoligest and he could not get a scrap from any of the bumps because i had scratched them too much. So then i took my dog to the dermitoligest to see about mites and they said they were not sure because 75% of the time you can not see a mite so I spent $400 there got my carpets cleaned and they are still there. then i went to the primary doc and got blood work and he also gave me a cream for the body but not hair or face because it was to strong but lice shampoo only helps for a few days and its killing my hair. they look white and when they fall out of my hair almost like a thin long string and when they get on my clothing and try to pick it out it comes more into the clothing.when i pluck my eyebrows or hair on my face the white thing comes out. sometimes when i can get one on tape its white on one side and the other is black. they bite and sometimes sting. I look on the internet and i am woundering if its a bacteria infection in my mouth from a took that has been hurting for a while now.

yes I guess when they come out they leave like a little hole kinda of then they scabe over. when i shave my legs and i start to blead in diffrent spots where i guess they were. I dont think i have been depressed. I thought for a long time i was going crazy but it has gotten worse. after one or two days of not washing my hair you can see them in my hair they fall out of my hair and land on my clothing. on my eyebrows at the end when i fell something and look it looks almost like a little pieace of hair hanging from the end of the eyelash and you can feel them trying to get into the skin around the line of the eye lashes i also thought maybe it was folical mites

Have you ever heard of Morgellons Disease?

It seems like there is a growing number of people suffering from this.. They say something is biting their skin and it looks like a thread or fibers that's in their skin.. and no doctors know what it is..

I would recommend that you ask your psychiatrist to give you a proper dose of anti-psychotic medicine to help you calm down. There are way too many "bugs" everywhere in your perception area to be a real infestation, in my opinion.

Why don't you talk to an exterminator who will reassure you that there is no such critter?

Best wishes in the future,
