Trounzer 0 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello, Been trying to see if demodex is the cause behind my severe nodulocystic acne by trying a regiment of 12 mg ivermectin twice (1 week apart) and 250 mg 3x a day after acne is returning after two courses of accutane. Also have had acne since I was 12. Has anyone done this and had success? I seem to be getting a bit worse since beginning 5 days ago, is this the mites dying off? Thanks, James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElaineA 15 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Yes, when the mites start dying off it can appear worse at first. This is normal and a good sign. Sounds like the treatment is working. Did the treatment help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trounzer 0 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Sadly no, literally I'm coming to the end I believe and I'll need to take accutane long term. Demodex was worth the try I guess. Currently I'm super dosing b5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElaineA 15 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I am sorry that this didn't help. I hope you find the answer to the skin issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
