I'm trying just tea tree oil but it stings, and is too strong. I am also applying a base oil with 20 drops of tea tree, some cedarwood and cinnamon leaf over my body after a shower, and into my scalp. I don't know if it's just my face thats the problem as i have blepharitis and rosacea diagnosed but they failed to mention the possibility of demodex.
It was my good friend in germany who is an eye doctor who alerted me, and there they suggest cleaning the eye 3 times a day with castor oil but they don't seem to sell that round here. (scotland, edinburgh).
I'd like to try natural first because demodex solutions (website) recommended some creams within a few hours of my email asking them for advice. But when i emailed them again asking if some people become dependant (i've seen a lot of posts saying something like that) and if it weakened the skin, or immunity - and they haven't got back to me. I also asked them how it worked.
My symptoms are, bumpy eye ridges/edge around lash base. regular styes and cysts. soft focus vision (nice and romantic). becoming more and more itchy around face and body.
I know you are meant to massage and squeeze your eye edges 3 times a day to loosen the buggers and help keep pores open, but my eyes are so tired it makes them wrinkled and i don't want to look older! I also have rosacea,it got worse for over a year until i tried antibiotic cream for 3 weeks and it totally cleared up. 6 months later it is thinking about starting again.
If anyone relates to this I'd love to hear from you. Don't worry if this post is a long time away from your finding it, I expect it will take time to lift off!
