Smothering mites with oil?
I have heard of people smothering mites with oil, and I noticed several times a whitehead would appear after putting olive oil on my face. I'm just wondering if this is nonsense or what.

Re: Which creams to use?
Sorry to post again. I guess I'm bored. I looked up Finacea (Azelaic acid), and I found: "Azelaic acid is in a class of medications called dicarboxylic acids. It works to treat acne by killing the bacteria that infect pores and by decreasing production of keratin, a natural substance that can l...

Re: Which creams to use?
Also, from my short experience with dealing with dermatologists, I can tell you that they have little to offer regarding killing demodex. Mostly permethrin and ivermectin. I have them on various places on my body too (although it isn't terribly noticable), so I'm going to start using 10% sulfur soaps.

Re: Which creams to use?
I only started out on the ZZ 2 weeks ago, and I believe Walter will answer you at some point, but I think you should order several cans of the ZZ for your face (use it all over your face at least everynight, if not morning and night). Don't over use it though, just a little and spread it to cover yo...

Re: My Progress, a leap of faith
I agree! I'm two weeks in, and I see it is causing minor bumps. I hope I can get rid of them to get rid of the skin thickening.

Re: reasons to consider tea tree oil? TTO
I have tried TTO initially, but I'm finding it toxic, smells horrible, and it's impossible to get the right formulation. For example, most shampoos and creams have 10%, which is not enough for killing mites, so I have to dilute 100% in it, which is difficult to measure whether this is too strong, an...

Measured success on body anyone???????
I have read about a lot of success about people's faces etc. but I'm having the most difficulty addressing other areas. I have a lot of ZZ for the face, but it's almost impossible to cover my body with ZZ everynight, and that is very expensive. I have the bodywash, shampoo and soap, but can someone ...

Re: My Progress, a leap of faith
I am not a doctor or anything, but I personally believe diet has nothing to do with it, and it's all the mite. I think it is true things can trigger the mite, but is it really worth avoiding this and that? Better to get rid of the mite and not worry about having a spicy dinner. I would just focus on...

Re: JUST Redness and Flushing
I had a dermatologist check for demodex, and they found some. In general, dermatologists in the USA don't usually do this, as they think demodex is not well established. Funnily enough, they haven't found a cure for a zit! How interesting!

Re: JUST Redness and Flushing
If you have redness and a pimple here and there then I would personally say you have some demodex. It is basically up to you... you obviously came on this site looking to correct your problem, so maybe you should give it a 4 month try, and you might find out your problem is worse than you thought, w...

Re: Severe Hair Loss
I also get strange stomach reactions and internal issues. That is what is most confusing, because I'll get a muscle twitch, or a headache, or a stomach movement, and I can't find anything related to the mites, yet there isn't much evidence of anything other than a lot of mites on me. I'm looking to ...

Re: rhinophymia?
Well before the ZZ arrived I used permethrin 5% on the body twice, and that caused a flare up. I ended up getting some red dermatitis type legions, which come and go, like when I get out of the shower etc. I can feel the biting and crawling on my back, arms, and legs. Also the shiny looking skin tha...

Re: Confused about ZZ packet insert, and demodexsolutions.com
I just started using ZZ but let me give you my opinion. I found a demodex infestation on my body, and what looks to be seborrheich dermatitis on my arms turned out to be something demodex did. Demodex can show up in many different forms. It might work if you try the ZZ on it, but I am not affiliated...

Re: demodex and hair loss
If your hair problem is not male pattern baldness, it is most likely demodex or nutrition related. I would use DS shampoo, or something similar. It will take months though, so don't expect instant results.

Re: rhinophymia?
I've started the ZZ on my nose and face etc. for a week now. Obviously it's too early to report much, but it is causing minor outbreaks. I remember you saying something about squeezing the sebum out. With my nose, should I try to squeeze the black heads out? Will just putting the ZZ on twice daily f...
