(I should probably mention tho that my doggo is pink skinned with short white hair so she’s got extra sensitive skin, and her vet gives me the instructions of what to do bc she is who confirmed that what I thought was happening was actually what was happening… I don’t imagine most dogs have the same susceptibility, she just has some stuff that unfortunately makes her more susceptible). And, something I do suggest also is having your bloods done and checking for any vitamin deficiency and taking supplements. Shampoo and body soaps with sulfur/selenium sulfide/tea tree. Body lotion with salicylic acid/urea. Exfoliation and non greasy lotions so that way you’re ridding yourself of dead skin as best as possible. And, though it may seem weird, a strip of tape does help. And, the lint rollers help ease my mind so maybe they can offer the same assistance to others. My hands clear up pretty fast with daily application of lotion that I drop a couple drops of 100% tea tree oil over the blob of lotion and mix it together over my hands as I rub it in… they cause me eczema like spots that aren’t so itchy, but can be a bit irritated at times, mostly they’re just unsightly and affect my self confidence, as does the whole demodex issue, in general. I know that some people are sensitive to TTO if it’s not better diluted but if that’s not you then I do recommend it. For me, the places that are most bothersome (bc of the demodex) are those that I can feel the issue which is like places from the chin/neck up, the inside of my hands and the soles of my feet. And, I do feel like the higher my anxiety, the more aware of the sensation I am… that’s not to say anxiety/stress is the cause of it, but it definitely does make it worse. And, I also have noticed this because when I’ve taken anti-anxiety meds to help me sleep and/or calm, the sensation is significantly less.
