Morgellons" or "Morgellons disease" is a controversial medical condition, described as a multiple-symptom syndrome, characterized by skin lesions, a sensation that insects are crawling on or under the skin, fibers and granules coming out of the skin, and fatigue. Reported mental symptoms may include short-term memory loss and impaired thinking, described as "brain fog". The cause is unknown, and no diagnostic criteria have been established.
Typically, the first line of treatment are the drugs Olanzapine or Risperidone. Also, topical or oral antibiotics and corticosteroids may be useful, in treating superficial infections and inflammation.
Note that these drugs must be prescribed under your doctor's supervision. The best advice I can give you, is to trust your doctor, and follow his instructions, and take any prescriptions he gives you faithfully. If you do so, the prognosis is very good. Even if you do not agree with his opinion, remember that he is an expert, and you are not; and *any* treatment is probably better than none at all.
Again, trust your doctor, and follow his advice,
