Hi, the very first thing I want to tell you is I suffer from the same thing and I finally found a way to get rid of the sores for sure.:) I never went to the doctor just because I have read so much online about being called crazy by anyone who has never experienced this. The white thread plugs are so wierd!! I honestly don't think whatever this issue is we are experiencing Even has a name yet. I believe it's a combination of some sort of parasite and bacteria that work together. Well what you need to do is go buy 100% essential tea tree oil...get like 3 bottles. Then try your hardest to find a " Drawing Salve"...the Amish used to makes this to pull out infection. Wash your face , you can even exfoliate. Ru. Tea tree oil all over. Wait 5 min...it feels solo good!! Then put the drawing salve over the sores. Let it sit over night. The next morning rub it off and put tea tree oil all over. DO NOT PICK. Don't touch your face at all. Repeat the oil as much as you want..... Give it 5 days I guarantee you will be cured. Whatever you do do not touch your face. Thanks Mk
