I've suffered from styes and cysts in eyelids off and on for years...
my eyelids, and the very edges of them have really changed over the last couple of years and are not as healthy, i have broken red thread veins on my eyelids, and 3 years ago i developed acne rosacea over nose and cheeks across the side of my nose. I have been to the doctors, and eye hospital where they said i have blapheritis and sent me home with a list of creams to get from the doctor...the doctors didn't know which one to use, i tried a couple but they didn't help, and the eye drops made my eyes even more uncomfortable.
i was just moaning about it to my friend who is an eye doctor in germany and she said straight away it might be demodex mites. i've never even heard of them. Im an itchy person from time to time, if i get bites they are very itchy...but my eyes are not itchy. but my face is, from time to time.
when a doctor gave me antibiotic cream for my acne, (which was just very red blushing skin and lots of spots) it worked so well, that i haven't suffered from the spots ever since, that was about 6 months ago. but the skin is still blushy and redish, but so much better.
i don't know what to do, this web site really scares me because it looks to hard to treat considering there is no one who will test me for demodex mites anyway, and also the most scarey thing is it looks like the website is saying there are some types of mites that you cannot get rid of at all. this makes me very sad! Im scared of parasites. The way I have always dealt with infections is to try as natural as possible in order not to weaken the bodies natural immune system and to help it mature. (I have just managed to treat a bladder and kidney infection with herbs, tea,suppliments and improved diet, and oceans of water!) From reading these other posts, it looks like the cream is more like a permeanent treatment which leaves the body weak when treatment stops. It also looks like it has seriously strong chemicals which cause sore joints and things...I don't know what to do!
I live in edinburgh, scotland in great britain. Can you suggest what i should do?
thankyou thankyou thankyou for any help
