[Skin Concerns] Itchy all over and when I check itchy spots, there are dark blue/back specks and fuzz. Anyone seen this before? (photos enclosed)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
My derm can't see me til the 29th. I've been really itchy the past week or so, and I've noticed that the spots on my skin that itch tend to have little black specks on it. I got out my camera and took some close-ups of these spots, and many of them are actually dark blue, and in close-up, look almost like fuzz. I thought it might be from clothing because I found some more of the fuzz specks in my bed- lots actually- but I haven't worn any clothing that color, and it's weird that it's making me itch. Now I'm worried it's some sort of lice or mite. Here are some photos of the stuff, found at various locations around my body- legs, arms, pubic area, ankles...I've also been having lots of small pimples all over my body lately- they're weird because I don't usually get body acne. These have a little white spot in them, and if I scratch it off, they create a hole in my skin. This photo shows one of those spots on the right, with a black speck next to it on the left. http://i.imgur.com/jbltZDG.pngHere, you can see a patch of my leg that is covered in those little white dots and holes. It almost seems like clogged pores? http://i.imgur.com/IMsBBiO.pngThe specks are usually very tiny, but my attention gets drawn to them because I get an extreme itch or painful sensation there. This one, when looked at close up, looks like a string with a ball attached at the end. There have been several fuzz pieces that look like this- http://i.imgur.com/qisRplA.png http://i.imgur.com/f4vXdFe.pngusually they're just little specks of fuzz like this, discovered via itching: http://i.imgur.com/Ez1ymW2.png http://i.imgur.com/Mh6P4RB.png http://i.imgur.com/oCUukxP.pngthere have been clusters a few times, but usually they're on their own. here's a cluster of black specks on my arm- this was very itchy http://i.imgur.com/EHpE6HT.pngHere's 3 itchy fuzz pieces on a piece of college-ruled paper for scale- http://i.imgur.com/EHPxpeE.pngTried to get a super close close-up: http://i.imgur.com/jKJqsAo.pnghere, a cluster of them on my blanket http://i.imgur.com/I1JQbR1.pngA cursory google search turned up "Morgellons disease", which from what I can gather is a delusional disorder, not a skin condition. I don't think I have that- I never went looking for "bugs" or anything in my skin- I've just been quite itchy and these dark blue fuzz things have been turning up. I've become a bit neurotic about it taking tons of photos etc. because I'm just so confused and so itchy. I'm hoping someone on reddit has some insight. thank you!
