My wife had severe pustular outbreaks, like skin crawling with bugs. We went to a holistic doctor who prescribed Doxycycline and Albendazole. Takne in conjunction, these prescription drugs resolve almost all types of pustular skin outbreaks quickly. Monthly follow-up treatments also prevent the outbreaks. Although classified as a mite, demodex really has a worm appearance and is generally eradicated with the anti-helminth Albendazole. If you try this, please let me know its effectiveness. Thanks.

Yes the medical community has been useless. They prescribed medicine so i wouldnt itch. I have been itching for a year. I treated my son and saw them crawling out of him. The doctors will not give us the medicine to treat at the same time on a consistant basis. It is always here and there. I went to the feed store that is how I really knew something was up. I put a dose of ivermectin on me and saw things coming from deep inside . Asked a major hospital dermatologist and he prescribed gabapentin so i wouldnt feel the itch and said I was clear. I find them coming out of my hands. I wear plastic gloves most of the time now. We are due for a treatment tomorrow. I know it won’t cure it. Help how do you get rid of these they seem to love my hands. I see them coming out with magnifying glasses. I put a strong hand sanitizer on and 50- 100 came out then later more. Every day about 50 come out of me in all stages of their life. How can we be cured?

where can i buy ivermectin? Is it prescription or over the counter? I know what you mean. No real help from the dermatologists and its a daily menace. Tea tree oil has helped me alot but still have flare ups on my face and its not a pretty sight when this happens. Been reading about the Permathrin treatment(Kwellada shampoo) and want to try, but its prescription only. Good luck to you.
