I would suggest the oldest and safest remedy I have used for the
past 50 years.
Most of us who have oily skin and seborrhea do have Demodex in our skin flora. Normally there are no symptoms. Overgrowth when we are immunosuppresed could cause your condition.
Years ago I was given an old fashioned compounded sulfur remedy by my dermatologist.
Most treatments for rosacea also help control demodicosis.
I suggest safest course for control is Prosacea gel ( 10% sulfur) daily
and zinc soap wash available in bar or liquid forms OTC as well.
Helps to use a shampoo like selenium sulfide or zinc phrithione
in your shower. I would only use permethrin a few day a month if that fails. Demodex lives with us.
Ivermectin is expensive.
