Anyone else dealing with Demodex Mites? What helps?

my dermatologist of decades didn't believe me when I described my itchy scalp! "It feels like crawling teeny bugs!" and gave me Selsun Blue. SOOO frustrating. Every appt: my itchy scalp and forearms. For years!

Aha!! Now I will solve it myself! Also found a patent application for use of ivermectin for the two main Demodex critters.

I've made my own skin serums for two years with cold pressed oils. Just ordered Black Currant Oil to add to TTO & Rosehip/Borage oils (most GLA of all, more than Borage oil). Never heard of Vaseline for the itchy forehead. (thank you). I can't wait! And it's good to know I'm not alone! You all have my sympathy.

I even told her the 'scaling' reminded me of scabies! (I'm 78). She said it was 'dry scalp'....
