Fleshy Plugs Under Skin In Pores on Face

[M7166]

there is a spot on my nose that i've rubbed raw washing, trying to get these "things" out of my pores.  these are not whiteheads, nor blackheads.  these are clusters of white or fleshy hard and sticky plugs-- not filled with anything, but they stick straight out from the pores. They are not bumps.  If I rub the area w/ a towel they do not rub off at all.  I tried to remove one with tweezers, and it was very tacky (as in sticky)  and clearly goes deep under the skin.  Part of it broke off but I could still see that the pore was plugged and a day or two later top of the plug was sticking out again. i can't find ANYTHING online that looks like it.

I have researched Demodex extensively and have learned from some very helpful information throughout the web on how I can kill this parasite that apparently slowly robs your skin and hair of its youth, BUT NO ONE, not a single physician, researcher, no patient mentioned how to rid oneself of the horrid biofilm except the user on this site Feenfeen. I do not join sites, discussions, blogs, but joined hoping to find Feenfeen. Everyone read his input, find an infrared sauna( get in DAILY), there are so many things I could say. Last night I was able to sleep through the night for the first time in awhile with the sulfur based creme ASCEND. I use a high end probiotic. Several things, but fight with all you can. These things are the kiss of death as far as I’m concerned!!!!
I got this parasite during a high stress time at work. I would also like to understand why people have such a hard time ridding their home of Demodex. These things are said to die within HOURS off their human host and eggs can’t readily be laid off host well enough live off host. So why can’t people rid their homes of them?? As well, I would like to learn more from Feenfeen as his/her research is very unique. A side note, there are so many sources that say everyone has Demodex, but I found one piece of literature written by a physician that clearly stated NO amount of Demodex is acceptable and to strive to eradicate all of them!
I do have one more question, lots of conflicting research on whether we can get Demodex from our dogs. Most say, no, but found a proven case from physicians with photos of canine type Demodex from a mange ridden dog. As well, we have begun spraying our dog daily with Listerine ( old Amber color ) and water half and half mixture. He doesn’t seem to mind it and he is scratching less as well.

It might be Morgellons. Have someone look at the area with a 60 x handheld microscope. They Are very cheap on Amazon ( $5.00). Have them look for filaments. They can be black, white, red, blue or other colors. You may want to. Heck other areas of your body also, since the filaments can occur in unbroken skin. The discovery of these filaments indicate an underlying borrelia burgdorferi infection which causes Lyme Disease. If you do find the filaments,  I would suggest getting tested for Lyme Disease, but with the knowledge that the testing is very unreliable, and should be diagnosed by Lyme litterate MD.  Here is a link to give you information from a reliable source on Morgellons Disease. There are is a lot of misinformation on the subject, as well as a lot of ignorant  people out there. I hope you do not have  Morgellons, but if you do, it can be treated, and it is not as bizarre as it seems. It is a part of Chronic Lyme Disease, and coinfections.

It's called a milia or milium plural. Look it up.

It's not milia, that's something different to what's going on here. These white rubbery masses are rooted and have a different consistency to milia.

1. MICROSCOPE instead of spending money on doctors appointments save yourself the trouble and just buy a microscope. You can do a skin scraping and see for yourself if it’s dermodex, staph, fungus. Easy. I do it in my college bio classes all the time with a old compound microscope. (You can also use it to check if products are killing them)

2. BIOFILMS.
Tough microbes colonies have a protective coating. Dermotologist don’t even talk about this... though it’s basic microbiology (I hypothesize this is what these plugs are made of, whether your suffering from fungi or bacteria or dermodex)

So a product did not working for you like it did others?
-Did you remove the biofilm with another product first? Otherwise you aren’t
touching the bacteria or fungi you want to fight.

Did a product work a while and then seem to build resistance?
-It didn’t build resistance it just rebuilt its biofilm
remove it and the product should work again

Fighting skin conditions is a 2 INGREDIENT PROCESS. The recommendeds product I’ve been seeing on here are wasted unless you combine them. You need
Step 1) a biofilm remover
Step 2) a fungal or bacteria fighter.

It’s surprisingly not common knowledge that you
must remove the biofilm before you can fight stubborn skin (and stomach) conditions. Not much scientific research on this most info can be found on other skin forums/blogs.

Many people (like myself) have seen great results with xylitol. (I use it as a scrub in the shower) Garlic, Manuka Honey, apple cider vinegar, and Aloe also help remove or prevent build up. Trial and error depending on what you are dealing with. I personally find dermarolling beforehand helps products penetrate this layer. (maybe you could use acupuncture needles on individual sores)

Good luck!

Please ignore all the spelling errors. I’m having issues with the sites text box.

A link with some basic info about biofilms !

Hello, I would like to ask some questions regarding your knowledge on Demodex mites. Is this possible? Thank you!

[Feenfeen]

Whatever the cause of this ....You’re products are useless and your skin appears to build resistance to them because they have a tough biofilm barrier. This stuff can even prevent diagnosis.  Got to remove the biofilm before you can fight the fungus or bacteria etc. idk why no one knows about this or researches it. BP not working,  well ya got to remove the biofilm or it isn’t touching the bacteria. Sulfur not working ? Remove the biofilm first... antifungal not working... remove the biofilm then apply it and just might. If you get confusing results from products this might be why. Xylitol seems to wor well for me. I just mix a little in some of my products. Garlic and aloe also do an alright job.

[provitom]

So FeenFeen, were you suggesting to put these on the lesions?

[Feenfeen]

Whatever you’ve already been using but make sure to you use a biofilm destroying product thours before. Like apply aloe all night and then in the morning shower and apply whatever product was supposed to help.

[Feenfeen]

Sorry I posted a second comment that makes more sense. I’m having major problems with the sites comment box!

[Feenfeen]

Some things could potentially irritate lesions. I’m talking of more of a preventative measure. But some users were saying garlic or honey helped and the reason for this is probably because they help penetrate these films. So using honey on your skin for a while then applying something like tea tree oil In theory should work better than using the products separately!

[dennide]

Sounds like mites.
