Anyone else dealing with Demodex Mites? What helps?

Wow, you've been through a lot! I read Barbaras' site every couple of weeks. It's amazing how many people are suffering, yet doctors just don't get it.
Suggestion - to cut down on the oils on your face, have you tried using salicylic acid? It's good for getting rid of sebum that the DD's love (it's not a real acid). I use Paula's Choice and find it's amazing. I don't use it often, just when I feel a need for exfoliation. Good to do it at night. Starve those little guys!
Hang in there. You're not crazy, you're just surrounded by ignorant, arrogant doctors, as the rest of us are.

Thank you and you also. It's so frustrating and humiliating/debilitating. I just came from the Dermatologist and said the biopsy came back with some kind of dermatitis. Imagine that! Smh
Desonide/hydrocortisone cream prescribed. It's unreal. I've had test after test. Blood test. Stool sample. Colonoscopy, endoscopy. Pap smear. Dermatologists looking at my female parts and pics I took. They all are negative and Dr's think I'm seriously crazy. I believe the mites and or other parasites have
traveled to that area. I have had signs of that and taking pics to confirm. I've taken antiparisitic/worm meds otc and by prescription, but it still is present and it seems it comes out at night. So, when examined I look stoopid. I'm so mortified.
