Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. What you perceived to be worms may have been thick discharge. It is more likely that you have folliculitis and it would be prudent to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

My upper lip has a lump - i squeezed it as if it were a pimple, but a long yellow thing came out. Is it just a pimple, or do I have ring worm?
