Anyone else dealing with Demodex Mites? What helps?

Hi all…
Just checking in. I did check w the MayoClinic site about creating a zoom call but they said they cannot add another one at this time. I will look into setting one up w zoom and post it on this site. I tried adding the baseline to my face, eyes, ears and nose at night and it is definitely helping. I do it on top of the daily TTO shampoos, washes, lotions etc. that I described earlier. I also started using a sauna ( temp is 160 degrees). I did it for three consecutive days and it too seemed to help. Again, I have modified my goal to “controlling” them vs “eliminating” them. I saw my dermatologist this week. It’s been a year since I first saw her. She like my opthalmologist said TTO, TTO, TTO. She offered me Ivermectin and Metronidazole but I said I didn’t feel they did much more than the TTO. And I would prefer to do this naturally if/when possible. Though I am on another 6 wk round of Xdemvy. I also added more pure TTO to the 10 oz bottles of the Mitchell products. I have now added three ml. I appreciate learning about the Vaseline. And I put a towel on my pillow to minimize staining. All for now. Hope everyone is doing ok w whatever regimens you have worked out. It is frustrating but I find that the demos don’t wake me at night anymore and I am not thinking about them 24/7.

Good to hear from you again. Since you've been dealing with this for a year maybe you can remember if this happened to you. Before I started using the TTO shampoo and body wash, the mites were located on my head - eyes, face, hair, ears - and some ( not all ) areas on my back. I started using TTO consistently about March 1. Within the last 2weeks I discovered numbers of bumps or red spots, some very itchy, others not, from mites on my arms, legs , expanded rash on back and especially back of neck and temples. I'm wondering if the TTO treatment is causing their migration. That seems more reasonable to me than there were silently there all along with no physical symptoms on skin surface. I'm very concerned and am moving into "alarm" stage very fast. Did you experience anthing like this ?
