granular creatures

My skin is occasioned by tiny pellet like white round creatures that inbed in my skin.  my scalp  feels this movement when I am on the bed at night.  In the morning my eyelashes  and eyebrow are decimated.  I have had two rashes doctors said were groin in the fungus.  No itching at all. this infestation has persisted since Oct 2004.

I am not expert in L-dopa use, but it seems at least possible that it could be triggering your sense that you have bugs on you.  Please check with your neurologist right away.

Forgive me, but I am not sure what you are referring to.  If you think you have bugs crawling on you and in your skin, you need to bring one in to show a doctor.  You may feel as though your skin is crawling without actually having bugs.  I know of no bugs that affect skin and look like "pellet like white round creatures" and "decimate" the eyelashes and eyebrows.  Lice can live in eyelashes, but your doctors would have seen them or their nits.  Ask them to look again in the groin for crab lice.

Best.
