This is a difficult topic and the subject of much debate about the exact nature of Morgellon's Disease, and the best treatment.
The consensus of opinion seems to be that the best medical approach is to first to eliminate the possibility of any skin infection, or other underlying condition (Lyme disease has been reported in a few cases) maybe by skin biopsy. After that there seems no close agreement amongst medicos generally.
In many many cases textile fibers have been found in the skin lesions of sufferers, which has led some researchers to investigate allergy as a cause. However nothing definite seems to have emerged from all that to date, either.
A common approach seems to be for doctors to dismiss the symptoms as psychosis, that is, "it's all in your mind", and say that there is really nothing wrong.
I'd ask first for a referral to a dermatologist, but if that isn't helpful I'm sorry to say I can't find out what is. Hypnosis? Acupuncture? I hope for a resolution for you.
