After 3 consecutive nightly applications the only thing to note so far, aside from the expected increase in greasiness/oiliness caused by the cream, is that I'm still experiencing what I have come to...

Frustrating, isn't it?!

Although I think (or perhaps rather, hope) this is starting to seep through to the 'mainstream', it's still not unusual to be treated as if you're barking mad when...

This fits with my experience, in as much as that I tried using a TTO ointment that was 20% concentration. While it helped to some degree, it eventually proved ineffective, and I put that down to the...

This realisation was a big step in my 'rosacea journey' (a journey I wish I'd never had to make!). Rosacea, from it's causes to it's treatment is extremely poorly understood by the medical community...

I absolutely agree that this is likely one of the various root causes under the 'rosacea' umbrella.

In my own case I am still 95% certain that demodex are at the root of my problem. However, if...

That's interesting, thanks Tom. I do wonder, however, at what concentration it would kill demodex? I know that sulfur is said to be insecticidal, but at the same time, this is not the only quality...

I wish I could offer something more than my sympathy, but you certainly do have that if nothing else.

My rosacea has shown a freak-ish ability to 'time' it's appearances to coincide with my travel...

I began applying eurax cream again last night, this time supported by the oral antibiotics (limecycline) I'm taking which I hope will relieve the die-off symptoms to some extent.

I will post...

What is the source of this information Tom? I've often wondered about sulfur concentrations in the past. Having used prosacea gel quite extensively, which I believe is 10% sulfur, I had a feeling...

I believe one theory is that antibiotics might be helpful in demodectic rosacea cases as they target the bacteria released by the mite, which is thought to be what causes the reaction in sufferers.

Michael V was a very knowlegable poster, someone whose input I certainly feel represents a great loss to the board. I messaged him a few months ago, but sadly received no response. I hope that he's...

Prosacea gel is sulfur based, available in america and relatively cheap I think.

Phew, thanks Trevor. Tomorrow I stock up! grin:

Whereabouts are you based jt? Does anybody know if this applies in the UK?

Just noticed this article on the Rosacea Support Group, and I'm not quite...

Absolutely spot on. I suffered an enormous amount of confusion and went up numerous blind alleys until I realised this.

Do you moisturise? I have found that my oiliness has been improved since I STOPPED applying moisturiser to my nose, and keeping it to a bare minimum elsewhere on my face. It took me a long time to...

Thanks Brady, please continue banging the drum. As will I.

To expand on this further, I think a problem of understanding in the treatment of demodex is that, for most parasitic infections treated by something like ivermectin, a single or double dose is...

As I have posted in another thread, I have noticed today that these trials have now been given an estimated completion date of January 2014.

A minor update on this - the estimated completion date for the study is currently set at January 2014.

I believe that zinc-o tinted moisturiser is held in high regard by many rosacea sufferers, although I haven't used it personally. It's not a tanning lotion, but more like a cross between sun block,...

Given your age, and the fact that you refer to suffering from pus filled spots, have you categorically ruled out acne vulgaris? If indeed it were acne, you at least have time on your side and a good...

Thanks Dave. I've been similar, in that I've seen definite benefits of targetting the mites, but not the total clearing as reported by the likes of wistar and rachzon in the ivermectin thread. In my...

Ordinarily I'm no fan of antibiotics for rosacea either - I haven't taken any since 2010 in spite of my derm's best efforts to put me back on them. But the 'die-off' (assuming that's what it was)...
