I used a soap and shampoo from a chinese Dr. who also stated that Rosacea could be caused from these mites. I also feel like I have traveled the world looking for evey possible treatment to help. I totally plan on seeing a Dermatologist as soon as I can to see if I could try this treatment plan No one has anything to lose by trying this, but maybe every thing to GAIN especially our HAPPINESS back and to just be normal Wish ME LUCK MAUREEN I’m elated to have come across this site, and even more surprised to see Dr. Linda Sy’s name on it.

Hopefully your rosacea symptoms were also relieved at the same time as eliminating the demodex. davidp. Hi Anna,

KOH showed demodex mites I was treated with elimite and oral ivermectin, recurrence after 1 month. I am currently using the elimite cream bid for 14 days, 4 to go, with high hopes. My derm says if after treatment follow up appt. shows demodex on the KOH, then they will treat me again with oral ivermectin. THANKS!

I first noticed it when I moved from Ohio to San Diego during the El Nino and put vitamin C treatments from a dermatologist on my skin. The treatment seemed to aggravate my "pimples". Another dermatologist diagnosed me with rosacea and I began topical Metrogel that helped. I then started HgH injections (very low dosage) from another doctor and noticed that my Rosacea virtually disappeared. That was early on. Now, it seems the condition has worsened. I recently stopped the HgH injections (about a month ago) and my skin gets a lot of tiny blackheads and whiteheads, very noticable flushing and redness, and the occassional pustule and watery pimple. No matter how well I wash my face there are are clogged pores. I have always had remarkably good skin, smooth, translucent, and finely textured. I never had facials because I never really needed them so this is unnerving. What is really concerning me is my itchy, red eyes. It is hard to wear any kind of eye make-up. In reading your internet article, I'm wondering if I could be a candidtate for the Ivermectin, Permethrin treatment. Right now, I am taking Cefalexina 500mg. (I can't remember the English name for this. It's a pretty general antibiotic I got when I cut my finger and the doctor in the hospital prescribed it. I noticed my skin cleared up so I saw online that it was also used in Rosacea therapy). I just am not a big fan of ingesting 3-4 of these tablets a day. I still will sometimes flush and my pores are still clogged. I also noticed that before my menstrual periods my Rosacea is at it's peak so I control it with this antibiotic and Metrogel. I also must say that about 5 years ago I was getting the telagen....lasered on my face but stopped with that because they always came back eventually. My skin condition isn't much affected by the cleansers I use. I am done seeing conventional dermatologists that don't think outside the box. Obviously, Metrogel isn't enough. I think this has something to do with the immune system and possible mites. Any advice would be appreciated.
