Demodex Mites. Lots of Questions About Them

[Gabranth]

I think this might be the end for me. Time to call it quit.

In the meantime I will be starting a new treatment, on the same thread that I am posting in now, though I yet do not know which treatment it will be.

Just to make one thing clear: this is not literally "the end" of this treatment, as I am instead going to apply only once every two weeks (I have 1 1/2 jars left).

I will still be applying once every two weeks, and my updates will follow that pattern too.

I won't be posting any new photos for now. They will come around December this year... sorry about that, its just that I see no point in doing so.

My next update on how I am doing concerning the zz ointment, will be in two weeks from now (tuesday, 28 of August). I will however update myself on this thread daily, if there were to be any new posts from you guys.

You can find Jojoba oil at a GNC store. I would give the disc about three weeks and then start applying the TTO 50% mix with the Jojoba. Give this a try and you can at least figure out if the Demodex is the root of your Rosacea, if it is you can cure it.

I might again start treatment in 13 days from now (pause treatment for two weeks), solely depending on how my skin is reacting to being off the treatment... if the outcome is negative, then I will start treatment once again, BUT if the outcome is positive, then I will cease treating on a daily basis and instead treat once every second week.

Since the zz ointment seems to be an incomplete solution at best, why keep at it? You should try the Ghost regime and the Ltd IV disc and other things known to kill Demodex. If you have Demodex your results will be evident within a week. Once these mites are in decline you will heal very quickly.

Ted - Because it has already helped me a good step of the way, and I fear that giving up now, might bring the unpleasantness of how it used to look back once again.

My final decision will be due 13 days from now.

I'm skeptical when it comes to these creams... I think the best way to go about it is make your own medicine. All these products that seem to help people contain sulfur - enough for you to see some improvement but not enough to cure it... and bunch of other ingredients that don't seem to be doing anything just confuse you. I've been researching and it seems that sulfur is used for exterminating bacteria and parasites which attack and live in the skin, such as scabies.

I found some sulfur-based soaps here and I'm going to try treating my skin with those for starters, to see if I get any reaction. TTO seems to be working too, but it's hard to get in my country.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm skeptical because Rosacea is not a life threatening disease, and it makes you dependent on all these expensive creams... so why would the companies want to lose a well-paying customer.

Ted you are not a rep for, and have never worked for the company (no affiliation) that distributes Rosacea Ltd., correct?

- I am doing better, to an extent.

- Skin (all in all) feels slightly more at ease.

- I just had a Salicylic Acid Peel 15% (nose only) done. And, I am planning on having several more of those (3-6). This I do in order to rid myself of the blackheads. It worked once in the past (removed every single one), so I don't see why it would not have the same effect yet again.


I believe I might have given my own skin too little resting-time/leisure. I've constantly been treating myself with miscellaneous remedies/products for as long as I can remember (2-3 years), without even thinking of giving it some time off, hence I might have worn down the epidermis a little too much.
But still, I will not lay myself to rest before the results are pleasing to my eyes.

Yesterday, I had a Salicylic Acid Peel 15% done (only on nose).
The only reason why I am doing is, is to lessen the number of
blackheads.

My previous attempt (5 treatments, with 14 days interval) was successful, so I see no reason why
it wouldn't be this time around as well.

No I have no affiliation of any kind with the company. Just got lucky when I found a link on this site to the company. I can only speak to my results which have amazed me. If it does not help you or others they state they will refund your money up to 120 days after purchase. The treatment along with other Demodex killing methods are the solution in my case. I have experienced a 99% remission and I can enjoy things now that would set off a cascade of symptoms, even the sun is OK now.
