Help with Bird Mites on Skin

[Faivyaj]

I'm looking a dermatologist who has experience diagnosing bird mites infestation on human skin.  I'm willing to travel to seek help.  

If anyone knows a dermatologist with this experience, please provide the contact information to me.  

Thank you in advance.

This is my horrible journey...  i have seen countless doctors, dermatologists, skin biobsy, swabs etc with no help. Everone just looks at me as if i am crazy.  I am not and these mites definately have been internal causing all sorts of mysterious health ailments.  I believe after dealing with this for over a year, leaving the house and returning after spraying etc that the mites and eggs were all in the window sills, mixed with dust and ? Feeding off dead insects in window sill since i had left!  But i believe i inhaled these microscopic critters and off a night i could feel them moving in my ears and then in my nose.  I would have bite marks in around my ear and then down both sides of my face which made me look like i had horrendous acne ( if this rash was elsewhere people would have not ignored my pleas for help as everyone presumed that thhis it was... until my whole body became covered in a rash and then other family members became effected).  I know for me Lamasil tablets did help clear the rash at one stage, washing my hair every second night for a week in pemetherin 10%, and lathering Pemetherin  cream all over body every second night and then applying heat to areas rash would make it go like a bruised red rash and it wd go away.  I also took Oral Ivertmicin twice which definately helped.  I can not get diagnosis but i too felt these critters were laying eggs under my skin ? Eggs.  If squeeezed transparent oval shaped hardened globuls would be expelled.  I manually squeezed out all hardened bumbs under my skin and then applied Permitherin over it.  It did slowly start to clear this up.  Hot wayer and dryer for all clothes worn once, bedding changed dauly until rash improves, treart tree oil on cotton tip applied to nostrils and ear canals stopped sensation of '?movement' at night.  Black tiny specks removed from ear canals.  Hot showers twice daily, scrub with lofa to remove any dead skin or mites on skin.  After a hot shower skin effected could be identified by reddened areas, scratch marks or red bumbs areas. These bits i took extra attention to with tea tree oil. Take particular attention to hair on scalp....    they hide and feed in their.  It has been such an icredibly hard jpurney.  People look at me like i am delusional.  But eventually other people became targeted in the house probably because i was treating my self.   Incredibly hard to clear house of them.  Nightmare.  But will get there!

Annesco, We learn in life that what is indeed mysterious do have solutions.All along I used to believe that bird mites are a myth, and that the patient hasa parasitophobia.Now I know that atleat some cases of parasitophobia do have possibly bird mites.

Here the vector for the mite were pigeons(carriers ).
But then let me confess my ignorance of birdmites going internal.

Just to clarify, I suspect that there are bird mites under my skin (not on my skin).

I've tried these items and more without success.  I've tried most topical solutions.  My doctor won't prescribe me any medications without dermatologist report that there are bugs living under my skin.  After a fourth visit to my doctor on this same condition, she's finally willing to give me a referral to see a dermatologist.  Since not just any dermatologist can diagnose my condition, I would like to use this referral to seek out a dermatologist who understand mite infestation on human.

I live in the U.S.  Is there any dermatologist in the U.S. who has success with bird mites on human skin diagnosis?

I'm also willing to travel outside of the U.S.

Thanks in advance for any info.

you should seek one in your own country?

Use neem oil or tea tree oil on the skin.  Neem is not safe for pregnant women, though.
