Steroid induced rosacea or demoed infestation?

[mcwick94]

I have been using the ZZ cream sparingly in the evening and the fumanling in the mornings for the last week or so. Before that I was more or less spot treating my problem areas but it seems the mites are biting all over so I end up just chasing spots around. I'm having a hard time applying the ZZ cream as its much thicker than the Fumanling cream and is hard to spread. Any suggestions? Also my face takes on more of a rash like appearance lately and I'm wondering if this is from a 1% cortisone cream I used several times or can the mites do this? Some spots look like mosquito bites while others are red and rash like. They also seem to be located in the lower half of my face and toward my jawline. I'm also very itchy on my jawline, is this normal and how quickly does it take for the current spots to fade once you apply the ZZ cream?

I bath in epson salts, tea trea oil (20 drops) in the dark, after drying off I cover myself head to foot in organic coconut oil, they all come squirming out like crazy, 100s of them dying. It is the most amazing spectacularly disgusting thing ever. I had some really really wierd stuff come out too. White flakes, brown flakes, black flakes, eggs, egg sacks, hairs that look a bit like a porquipine quil but much smaller. Gross but already I'm hardly seeing any big ones and I've only been doing this type of thing for 2.5 days. Morning and evening. I treated my sister and we watched a huge one come out of her palm it was disgusting but oh so liberating. Take back your health!!! I am. :)

Demodex mites, their nymphs and eggs you can not see with the naked eye.

They can be seen with the naked eye! I'm taking them into my Dr. to make sure what they are but they look exactly like the picture. I can see them easily and other people can too so I'm not sure what they are or who claims you can't see the mites or maybe they are just some new mite on steriods haha. Yes I lather up my face with the oil too and they come out of the pores, expecially around my eyes well now they are so small I can barely see them, babies. I will tell you what the Dr. says and I will go to the skin specialist too and give him a piece of my mind!! Not even ever mentioning I could have mites. western Dr.s are soo well you know...

Well, then indeed you need to have demodex mites which are on steriods hahahaha
you can not see them with the naked eye, believe me,
maybe you have something else which is bigger, no idea what though.....

I think you are right Walter. I was reading this forum.

and people were saying a bunch of different things. Lots of good stuff but ultimately it is some sort of mite I believe. There are so many nasty critters from spiders to bed bugs to chiggers to mites that can cause issues. It seems like ultimately wrapping the beds/boxsprings/pillows plus being super clean with steamers, peroxide, rubbing alcohol, vodka etc. plus rubbing some sort of different creams and oils ultimately helps and if you keep at it eventually you will get whatever it is down enough to not cause trouble. A lot of people do use a combination of conconut oil, or olive oil with essential oils like tea tree, neem, eukolyptis, oregano, thieves oil etc. It is just everything is so expensive. To keep trying different ones until you find one that works for you. Well it is tough. Chemicals are not good but Diatamaceous Earth seems like a good natural one to sprinkle around. Just always watch out if you have breathing issues or allergies with anything. Be cautious and careful. I'm glad you guys are here though to help support us through these trying times. A lot of these forums nobdy has posted for like a year. So what did they all cure themselves? Well once i cure myself I will be sure not to run away. I will post my cure and come back occassionally to say HI!! :)
