I have had them for about 10 years. Some of them look like if you were to press your thumb into dough and one I have looks like a worm laid out dough stretched out and the impression left is what I have. I have tons of them all over my face. Some thought they were chicken pox scars, but I've never had chicken pox. Some are small, like a pox scar, some are large, like the thumb print and the "worm" one over my eyebrow is almost three inches long. I've seen about 12 different dermatologists, had biopsies and so on and on one can tell me what is causing them. Biopies come back negative for Lupus, Scleroderma, and all other related skin conditions. A fellow lymie told me once that maybe the lyme is causing is, somehow eating away at the collagen in my face, but why the perfect circle or worm shape? It's very strange and only is on my face. Does anyone else have anything like this and if so, were you told it was from lyme? Thanks.

Definitely consider parasite tx. If it looks like a worm, it probably is. Check out you tube video about face worms. Not sure what to tpe in, but try face worms.
Research parasites and type parasites into search bar at the top. Parasites/worms can play a MAJOR role in Lyme disease.
There is also the Filarial worm co-infection to consider. www.lymephotos.com

The biopsies showed nothing. Also were it a worm, I think the skin would be raised, not sunken in. I mentioned the parasite theory a few year back to an ND I was seeing and he didn't think they would be affecting my face. Other areas of the yes, but not the face, at least like it was.

Sorry, but the doc is wrong...worms can definitely be in your face, your head, ears, eyes nose and mouth.
There is a video on you tube showing docs cleaning out worms from some guys skin. The skin does not have to be raised for it to be a worm. It;s up to you whether you want to look into this further. check out curezone parasite forum.

Indentations are a symptom of scleraderma. Lyme is the trigger and the alternative protocol is antibiotics.

I do not have Scleroderma. I have been tested several times for it and both my blood work and biopsies come back normal. I have had three different biopsies on my face and one on my back, which is often where they test (to test and unrelated, unaffected area). I have seen several specialists and the one thing they are certain about is that it is not Scleroderma.

Thank God...since you have had the biopsies that is definite because just like lyme patients they have about 30% that never test pos on anything. They are seronegative.

Parasites. Research it. Most M.D.'s are clueless about them.
