I thought it's nice to tell you all how I got rid of demodex.
In February 2007 i started having a really bad acnea. In June I've dicovered it's Demodex. I've started using the creams late July and by December I was clear. However, it's not as easy as it sounds.
It's not enough to use the creams, to have to help them. So I've started to attack Demodex on more than just one part:
1)Food: I completly cut from the list sweets and dairy. This helped a lot not only my face but I also lost weight
2) I've tried different antibiotics in the same time, but honestly I don't think it's good to abose antibiotics like I did.
3) I've learned how to use the creams correctly. My skin could only support the green & white cream on the cover (not the one with pink). You have to be really careful not to use too much, using to much with make you skin REALLY flaky, and it will hurt and you'll have blood veins. Use the soup on your face and if you feel it's too strong, use smething smooth to clean the face, like organic lavender soAp )lavender is very good for your acne). I used to wash my face with Lavender soap, dry it with tissues so I touch my face with something steril and then I used the cream but a little bit diluated in water. I used a spray from Avene with thermal water and then, imeidatly, I used the cream which diluated a bit and covered every part of my face really nice.
4) Flaky skin: once a week or twice, depending on how bad it was I used a peel off mask to ckear all the flakyness away and reaveal nice and clean skin. This helped as well.
5) Red Veins: I also statted to have red veins around my nose, but in order to get rid of then and prevent for hapening, I got some medicines from my doctor to help me with capilar circulation. Using medicine for capilar circulation helped me in two ways: one was reducing and preventing the red veins, second it helped my skin heal faster and those huge crators healed better and left less scars.
6) For the girls only: I laso started taking birth control pills with estrogen and this helped as well with the acne. Unfortunatly this can help only the girls...
7. Walter: Walter was a real help because I had problems and loads of questions and he really understood and got back to my questions really fast. When you have such problems you really want to have your questions answear sooo fast and you're getting really nervous about it
8. DON'T!!!!! Don't use the cream on your neck! The skin on your necj is so much more sensitive than the one on your face - I used it and it got all read and feeling off and itchy and hurting all the time... then I had horrible breakouts on the neck and a horrible redness - it took me 6 weeks to recover, it was a nightmaire but I didn't knew I shouldn't use it on the neck, so be careful with this.
9. DON'T!!!!!! Using more cream won't make the Demodex dye faster. You have to have a lot of patience, read well about it, ask Walter any questions you might have andhrlp the creams as much as you can: a good diet, good products on your face, if you have red veins maybe a supliment for capilar circulation, etc.
My face is clear now, not completly, but nothing as huge as it used to be. I can wear make up and I still have a jar of creams that I use only every now and then dilueted in water. I'm being also careful with my diet. I've cured from Demodex, but I had loads of patience..
