Good afternoon Dr. Dray! Last year I tried a new mascara and developed my first stye. I had to get it surgically removed. My optician stated word for word what you mentioned in the video about a healthy eyelid regimen. Now I take better care of not only my eyelids, but all of my skin thanks to your informative advice. Thank you!

HYPOCHLOROUS ACID WORKED WONDERS for my daughters Demodex infestation. I’m not using that word lightly either. They were causing constant styes & chalzions on her eyes. Her lashes were falling out and then they caused her to have an awful red rash around her mouth. It would get itchy. I felt so bad for her. She was about 4/5 years old. Her eye dr reccomended the hypochlorous acid it helped so much. We’ve pulled back a lot on her eye hygiene routine and she hardly ever gets styes and no more chalazions. I would spray the hypochlorous acid on a few different cotton balls. One cotton ball per eye. And then one for around her nose and mouth where the rash was. She no longer has the rash and hasn’t gotten any bumps at all since we started using it.

Oh, wow. This was really interesting. Thank you for the video. I love to learn and you’re a great teacher.

Speaking as an optometrist, I definitely wouldn't recommend using baby shampoo for blepharitis or your eye lids. It strips your eyelids from their necessary oily expulsion. And throws off the tear film composition due to thr mild detergent. There's products that are created for treating demodex or blepharitis. There are products that are made

And they are about $1 for a wipe. I use a 50/50 mixture of a carrier oil plus the same amount of tea tree oil. I saw a KZread video that suggested that this is less expensive than the wipes and the tea tree oil works better for me.

Mites and conjunctivitis are two reasons I would give my students for not sharing mascara. Even though I was teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology, they would tell me they "bathe real good and don't have no mites" [sic]. When I tried to tell them we all have mites and bacteria as part of our microbiomes, they just wanted to argue and continued to share the mascara and other make up. 💖🌷💄👛

Repairing the skin barrier helps keep the skin healthy over the long term. I only used the tea tree oil for a very short time under my dermatologist's direction. She also had me on antibiotics and antifungals to prevent infection because my skin barrier was so weakened at that time. Gradually I healed and now I look like anyone else. However when it was severe I was unable to leave the house because it was so disfiguring. There are various things that can cause rosacea; but if your rosacea is caused by demodex, there are many who have successfully treated it with the antiparasitic approach!

Thank you! I think you might have solved my mystery I've suffered, every so often, from irritation involving my eyes. They have, in the past, swollen to were i couldn't see. They tend to be oily and irritated even if not swollen anymore. (I wake some nights with my eyes dry and have to gently rub to bring moisture back) Could this be the mites? And if i am right to treat it. Is there any specific brand of baby shampoo youd recommend?

I was diagnosed in my mid-fifties with acne rosacea. I was actually relieved that my diagnosis wasn’t lupus. My family doctor thought I might scar. It was so severe, he wanted me to splash only water on my face until I could see a dermatologist. Sadly, I had to be on a wait list. Fast forward to my appointment, my dermatologist walks in the room as says, “Acne Rosacea.” She told me most of her rosacea patients are fair and caucasian. She did a scraping and found demodex in excess of what is normal. She asked for me to be patient because it would take a long time to resolve. I took oral minocycline for a long time. I was asked to only use my prescriptions on my face. I washed with Avar (now it is Plexion Cleanser), and I applied Soolantra. I was put on oral steroids, at first, for inflammation. I looked like a monster, and I didn’t leave home (except to see my doctors) for at least three months. I’m almost sixty now, and my skin looks very smooth and clear. I use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and moisturizer with Shea butter and Niacinamide. Two or three times a week, I still incorporate the topical prescriptions - just to keep things in check. I haven’t needed oral antibiotics for a few years. I kept a photo diary of this rosacea journey, and it’s difficult to look at. When I was younger and in ballet class, we would face the mirror for center work, and I had wondered why I was always red as a beet ...when nobody else was. I thought I just worked harder. I probably have had rosacea all of my life. By learning how to improve my skin barrier (following Dr. Dray’s advice), my skin is in much better condition than before my diagnosis. Sorry for this long story, but it has been quite a journey. If one works diligently, there is hope beyond this beast called rosacea. Oh ~ And never forget your sunscreen! ☀️🌿

Thanks also for letting me know about the dangers of alcohol on aging skin! Sadly, I had finally found a great body moisturizer that I used on my face by Goldbond 10 hour Max it had hylaraulnic (sp) acid and melatonin and it did have chammomile for fragrance. skin SOAKED it up at night and in the morning it was still there. ANYWAY got to looking at the bottom of the ingredients list is ceta-alcohol !!!! So sad. I'm tempted to use it because it otherwise seemed to be so hydrating. It was almost the LAST ingredient. Doesn't this mean a very small amount used? Maybe just a little needed for drying purposeses? Anyway anyone or young ones who don't mind alcohol this is a great moisturizer IMO.

Thanks so much for doing this video! I have both Rosecia and Blepharitus. Now that you say it, I have a couple other inflammatory issues, chronic migraines and allergies. I also have noticed that one inflammatory reaction can trigger another (allergic reaction can cause a migraine...ect). I also have to be on several antihistamines and those perpetuate my dry eyes. I also get "hair follicular pain" when my hair hasn't been washed for a couple days (I have curly and color treated hair, the recommendation is to wash less often). I saw a video of yours saying something about yeast building up, I tried the dandruff shampoo. It's too harsh of a soap for my color treated hair (strips the color).

I don't remember the milligrams, but it was my wonderful new dermatologist who recommended it after nothing else worked.

I had demodex out of control for many years it sucked. Dermatologist remedies didn't really help me much. I ended up solving the problem by watching my face every night and applying a mixture of tee tree oil and colloidal silver. during the night demodex have a party in the surface of the skin and when they die inside the skin it causes a reaction (redness). it took a couple of weeks to see improvement it got worse before it improved. that worked for me and i'm not saying it will work for everyone.

Happy Friday!

Hi! I've been going through some skin and hair issues and was looking to get some information and I found your channel. I'm so glad I did! I love way you explain everything. I'm going to Europe for a vacation and I recently got a lot of acne overnight. I think it could be because of stress but I'm not sure. I have post-acne wounds on my face. No matter how gentle I'm on my skin, acne tend to bleed somehow. They're bleeding and some still have pus in them. I have to go on a vacation in 12 days and I just want to clear my skin of wounds and scabs at least. Can you please tell me some solution? Also, I'm going to Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Denmark. Any skincare products you think I can pick up from there (that's not very expensive)? I have combination skin. Thank you ❤

It sounds like you need to see a dermatologist in person asap. So sorry you are going though this.

Great video. 3 questions though. Would hair waxing or threading lower the mite population on your skin? What is the démodex feeding on? Could rosacea be a reaction to the mite’s excrement or other by products of its daily bodily functions.

@@urperfect2mee depending on your skin but 3-4 weeks. It’s basically 2 life spans of these mites. It comes and goes though so it’s best to do the oil cleanse and second deep cleanse at night and put it directly on Clean skin. I use 1-2 peas size blobs and make sure it’s on all areas cos I noticed if I did it mainly the inflammation only it moved the inflammation over. The mites come out of the pores when it’s dark so put it on half an hour before sleeping. Then when you wake up wash your face straight away and use a oil free moisturise before sunscreen. If I’m sweating like after being outside or after gardening I wash my face straightaway. I use soap free wash and it’s not drying. Once or twice a week I use a chemical peel. Just to help with the mites and starve them of dead skin cells and sebum ha ha

Cliradex foam, I been using I'm at Peace with it n everything is a quiet moment of nothing happening my scalp is happy since I started using it! 🎉 so far thats it

Sunscreen. Off topic. Could you recommend a safe for the eyelid and eye area sunscreen? I assume should be a mineral base but what delivery system if so?

Oh boy I was wondering wondering when you’d get around to this. It’s gross for sure but you make parasites 🦠 sound normal. Thanks Doc

Very interesting and informative! Thanks! ❤🦠😊

Was just diagnosed today with demodex folliculorum after months of battling what I believed to be an “allergy” I have a few difficult months ahead but always happy to confirm medical advice with Dr. Dray and know that this too shall pass 😊.

Hey Dr dray, could you do a video on megadosing on pantothenic acid to treat acne?

Hello! I recently watched your Krave Beauty Review video, and I had a question about the Great Barrier Relief. When you were testing it out, did you apply it to damp skin like a moisturizer, or to dry skin? Thanks! Love your channel

Dr Dray thanks so much! And do you think it could possibly help with acne (maybe cystic)?

Hi Dr. Dray, this was very interesting. I had no idea about the mites, or that there were multiple species. I have a question/request. I like your skin care routine videos, because they really help break things down. But I would like a video just purely on the do's and don'ts of washing your face. In other words, I would like a searchable video that tells me what I should and should not be doing. I'm an avid watcher/supporter of yours and would sincerely appreciate a dedicated video on this topic. It seems basic (it is, really) but these videos are also quite popular on KZread. Thanks for reading.

Off topic but keep forgetting to ask on the Sunscreen vids. My skin gets pretty oily no matter what sunscreen I use. Will blotting off the excess oil remove my sunscreen? I blot a few times a day, and reaply often, and never blot right after applying. I usually blot after like 45- to an hour. I'm sunscreen crazy now, you help me with that and its realllly helped with my melasma.

Blotting does remove sunscreen but since you're reapplying anyway it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Doctor. I just found this channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Could my daughter’s cancer that was said to be cystic acne, be caused by mites? She had a chelation and hair and lashes have been falling out too. How do we find out? Thank you

Love your videos! I think it would be a cool idea if you reviewed those Vogue beauty skin routines of famous people and your thoughts on them!

Great video! Would a gentle antiseptic spray help with these mites?

Incredible video, thanks 👩🏻‍⚕️ Dr! I would love to see a video on topical heat rubs like Vick’s, Bengay, Voltarin gel for sore muscles... how they work. If they’re helpful... benefits... side effects etc. alleviation of arthritis and muscular pain topically!

Thanks. Doc.

Not sure if anyone watching this demodex video is aware there is now an FDA approved blepharitis treatment from Tarsus Pharmaceuticals called Xdemvy. This video is 4 years old and Xdemvy was recently approved to be prescribed in September 2023. Worth looking into if you are still having demodex issues. Excellent information in this video from Dr Dray!

Struggling with dry eyes, dry scalp, itchy eyes and itchy scalp. All happend after I did eyelash extensions. I was at dermatologist, he told me I have folliculitis, later on I connected the dots. I probably have the demodex. It makes sense because when I bought a shampoo that had menthol, tea tree oil and zinc in it, I felt immidiate relief. On eyes using mostly colloidal silver. It helps but symptoms come back. TIme to get ivermectin.

Ah yes, the person I was looking for, for this exact reason. I have rosacea type 1 and my bottom eyelashes on one eye are much less than the other eye. I wonder if it’s because of the mites? I read sulphur helps kill them. Is this true? I am enjoying the sulphur gel for my redness, which I admit I slept on until recently

Thank you so much for making this video. This will definitely help us eyelash technicians and awesome to help educate our clients. I’m not sure if I agree with the baby shampoo though there is lots of research being done now a days. So apparently there is a numbing agent that we don’t want to put near our eyes.

Very off subject, but wondering what you think of the Ziip facial device or others, hopefully cheaper, which perform the same function?

Hi Dr Dray! I have little white things on my eyelashes and I have red rosacea with subtle reddish bumps of irritated skin along my cheeks. I think this could be what’s causing it. Do you have any updated info on this topic (demodex-rosacea solutions)?
