What could be causing these symptoms? Thank you.

Friend is experiencing the following, any insight appreciated. Thank you.

  • Tiny bumps that feel like millions of sacks at the base of each hair folical
  • Concentrated spots
  • They look like tiny scabs
  • When head was shaved they looks like moles.
  • When you push down on them they move from pressure and they can pop.
  • Was wearing a hat and felt them go into ears.
  • Scoped the ears with an ear scope and they could be moved and popped with the tip of the ear scope.
  • Was in the BadLands in S. Dakota, felt something bite at the base of the skull at top of spine. There were three bite marks making a triangle. I kinda felt like mosquito bites.
  • Woke up and back of neck was swollen from ear to ear like an inflatable tube of as under the skin.
  • Been to Doctors, dermatologists, nurse practitioners
  • 2 biopsies both came back as prurigo nodularis which is basically gaslighting.
  • Been treated for ringworm anti fungus medication
  • No one has been able to identify what it is.
  • Done a few cycles of ivermectin.
  • It seems to be morphing and adapting to whatever.
  • An herbalogist suggested it could be Lyme.
