I did a Google search of White plug Demodex acne and that's how I found this thread a while back. I read through a lot of the posts before I ever posted. Several mentioned Demodex and a lot have menti...

Posted by: @Skinshit @toniacook Okay, well if you're certain you have demodex (you wrote "Mine is in fact Demodex, unfortunately."), then I'm not sure why you're on this forum and not a demodex forum...

Posted by: @Skinshit @toniacook I do not think this is demodex at all. At this point I think it's most likely autoimmune and/or related to abnormal hormone regulation and/or sebum production. Mine i...

Posted by: @Skinshit @fumi83 Welcome! The good news is: judging by your photos, you're in the right place, you have what we have! The bad news is: we don't know what we have 🙁 different things have w...

I can't get the tape to really work for me. My issues are on my face and it doesn't seem to stick well. My face is extremely oily and is worse with Demodex. It's more than oily. It's kinda gooey. I h...

Posted by: @Skinshit @finerfeedback did you ever end up trying Accutane for this? I am considering it! Hi. After seeing another Dermatologist, they prescribed the 2 week dose of Ivermectin. They wer...

I ordered this from Amazon and received this evening. Fingers crossed it works for me. It's expensive and a tiny jar. I've been eyeing it, but finally ordered. Ovante Demodex Mite Eliminating Facial ...

This is also something that makeup cannot really cover to make more presentable. It shows under makeup with the flakes/tails all over your face and really cakes up. It's almost like trying to cover up...

Posted by: @tryingtohelp3 Edit- some posts are just genuinely acne. Like the post above me is just picked at acne. But for some, this is beyond acne- This is not fungus! It's not parasites! It's no...

Posted by: @Skinshit @toniacook I'm so sorry - I totally understand how frustrating this is! If I were you, I'd definitely go to an infectious disease specialist at this point. That is my plan as wel...

Ok, this is what I expected from that Dermatologist. I'm not surprised. I'm frustrated and aggravated at these supposedly professionals. Rosacea like Dermatitis. They didn't go down far enough since ...

Posted by: @Skinshit @toniacook Yeah, the betadine ointment (couldn't find cream) didn't "pull" any of these "plugs" out for me either. I'm actually currently looking for a new dermatologist bc at th...

Posted by: @Skinshit @toniacook Hi Tonia, did the betadine cream do anything for you? any updates? No luck. Things have calmed down some, but still fighting it. It's been 2 weeks since the biopsy an...

A gang of these guys were hanging down on my face/chin in full view. I've never been so freaked out in my whole life! I had applied some sulfur lotion and some other cream to my face, then walked my d...

Posted by: @hernandezpaloma947gmail-com Posted by: @Kiki RN Ok guys....I've finally found what works!!! I'll put it first and then you can read on to hear my story which sounds a lot like all of...

I believe there are different conditions throughout this thread. Mine and a lot are Demodex mites. I've been dealing with this off and on for a few years. I just never understood or knew what it was u...

I can relate. This stuff is horrible. It is Demodex mites. Doctors don't like to discuss it or address it as such. I don't think there's enough research or these things have evolved within humans for ...
