I did alittle research, this is what I came up with

"This involves the egg pouches of copepods, e.g. Lernaea. The anterior portion of the parasite is burrowed deeper into the skin"

well if your right, i should be treating with anchor's away. Simular to anchor worm's.

The descripion of the problem was..."Elongated oval objects measuring up to 10mm, stick up out of the skin"
Sounds like your problem. Try a med that treats external parasite. Go with Prosi-Pro. If already tried, go with another med that treats; anchor worms, lice, gill flukes and assorted external parasites. Best I came up with
