Introduction: Morgellons disease is a rare, unexplained skin disorder that whose specific etiology remains a mystery to both the Dermatologic and Psychiatric community as the specific etiology remains unknown. The condition is characterized by the physical presentation of painful sores with reported crawling sensations within the skin and the fixed belief of infection or parasitic infestation. The pathognomonic feature of this disease is the presence of filaments or fibers embedded in and emerging from these sores.
