Skin Deep:
The Battle Over Morgellons
Watch the award-winning documentary by Pi Ware on these platforms:
SYNOPSIS:
A nurse squares off against a dermatologist as they fight to discover the truth behind Morgellons, a disease whose bizarre symptoms include fibers growing out of victims’ skin. The battle heats up when the medical industry declares the patients’ symptoms to be nothing more than products of delusional minds. Now, as evidence linking Morgellons to Lyme disease mounts, the question becomes "Who is delusional, the patients who believe or the doctors who deny?”

“A must-see documentary for any doctor treating Morgellons, especially Dermatologists and Psychiatrists. Bridges the gap between doctors and patients, theories and science."

“A compelling documentary that pulls you into the lives of the embattled victims… There are heart-breaking stories, but there are also stories of people making inroads into the realm of medical research, which in the end, are stories of hope.”
