Continuos misdiagnosis
Hi :(.. I have been diagnosed with everything from foliculitis to cystic acne and then some. I am 30 years old, female, and I have been struggling with "Something" for 18 years now.
It begins almost as a clogged pore, filled with a solid whit ball, usually a hair root. It then begins infection, becoming a very large sore that does not heal. In order to make the infection less, I have to pull out, what looks like a large white straw or (tube like) white mass that roots itself right through the skin. Erythromycin, topicals, herbals etc etc, over and behind the counter are not working. The condition is mostly on my face, chest, thighs and buttox, but sparatic on every other part of me. PLEASE HELP! I am becoming disfigured from scarring, and in the past six months the condition is the worst it has ever been and unbelieveably out of control.

I FINALLY AFTER MONTHS OF MISERY FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER TO THE SAME CRAZY PROBLEM ALL OF YOU DESCRIBED.
I have spent hours trying to figure this worm under scab won't heal issue. I've had dozens on my face.
It so simple it makes me want to cry that it took so long to figure out and to realize I was self creating the problem. Not ringworm FYI....
CONTACT DERMITITIS FROM AN ALERGIC REACTION TO NEOSPORIN AND POLYSPORIN.
I stopped using both and only used tea tree oil for one day and all 5 of my existing sores do NOT have any of the worms under the scabs this morning. THANK GOD. (I did clean the inside of each sore really well before using tea tree)
I am guessing tons of folks on this thread use these ointments trying to control infection of small sores that turn into big sores over time, it's the ointment in my case.
I had to share this once I realized what my problem was.
Good luck everyone!

It can be due to whiteheads or sebaceous cysts. Whitehead is a yellowish bump or plug on the skin and is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland's duct.
A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. They may occur anywhere on body but scalp, ears, back, face, and upper arm, are common sites for sebaceous cysts.
To confirm the diagnosis please get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.
