I sometimes wonder if I had been happier had I not learned about all the things our body is home to...
There are more bacteria living in and on us than we have cells!!! The mitochondria inside our cells, the powerhouses of our cells, are actually foreign organisms and without the gut flora we would not be able to absorb nutrients and we would die!!!
Antibiotics destroy all the good besides the "bad" bacteria and hence destroy the immune system! They nearly killed me 9 years ago and l am still not healthy!
Yeah, I think I'm gonna stop here, and not learn anything else; I already heard we're made up of 90% bacteria, that's really disgusting. Peace, TJ
@Butterfly Sword 😄😂😄
Same 😩😩 .. i learned about them a few days ago and they still make me feel disgusted, i wanted to get them off my face anyhow but apparently that's not possible.. Can you tell me how you made peace with their presence on your face after knowing about them ?
the mouth is a digusting cesspit full of germs and bacteria
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 UA-cam video that suggested that this is less expensive than the wipes and the tea tree oil works better for me.
This is my favorite channel because it’s the best video archive of Dermatologic conditions backed by a medical background with practical applications. 29 year old male here!
🙌 YES!!! 🙌
hh..YOu are now 31.
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.
Not the most appetizing video, but, Dr Dray is talking skin and I watch 😊
And, since I am someone who has struggled with rosacea, I am really glad I did! Thank you Dr Dray
thanks for watching
باید برای اینکه این دمودکس از بین بره چ کاری انجام بدم من رزاسه دارم
50 seconds in and my skin starts itching me
Paso a Paso Nails that was my biggest fear before I started watching 🙄
@Paso a Paso Nails Many thanks, been searching for "best medicine against scabies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Norahan Stopping Scabies Process - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got amazing results with it.
Normally, this would give me nightmares, however... knowing that we all live surrounded by dust mites (of which I am allergic to per testing), I think this was a greatly informative talk. Good job, as always, Dr. Dray! 😀
:)
Hey! I'm Heather Ann❤😂
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. 💖🌷💄👛
:)
😭
And for those you dont care for..Just throw a huge shopping basket of cheap mascare onto the classroom floor and watch as they dive into the pile like rabid make up artists.
I got them from my dog
@@TheCissero this scapegoat adult son got them from his dog. Who.most likely got them from tne grooming dept at Petsmart
OMG thank you so much for educating me! I am so thankful for the content of your videos. They have helped me so much to understand rosacea. 🤗
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! ☀️🌿
Tammy Woods: What a great story; thanks for sharing it!! 😃
Thank you! Agree, great story.
Palm Tree ~ Thanks kindly, Palm Tree. I’m doing well. I was one who thought I couldn’t moisturize my face due to being oily. I was so wrong. It has made a tremendous difference. Niacinamide and Shea Butter are wonderful. Plus, my daily sunscreens are moisturizing. 👍🏻
I never knew there were so many people with rosacea and other skin conditions! Glad you were able to get treatment and control. I can’t imagine your plight. Thank you for sharing.
Have you found relief from the pustules of rosacea? I have type 2 and have been having a hard time getting rid of the bumps.
This couldn't have come at a better time. My skin has been so itchy. It literally feels like tiny mites are roaming my face. And my face is always itchy. And as of late,my eyes have been feeling dryer than usual. Thank you.
Michalle Rodriguez man I thought I was going crazy me to.
Happy Friday!
Use Desert Essence Face Wash, it contains Tea Tree oil
Try “Head to Toe” hand balm by Trader Joe’s. Works amazing for dryness.
@@alceandrade5940 can you send a link? Its alot of brands of it a relative need the exact one your speaking about.. Thanks in advance
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!
A demodectic rosacean checking in! Thank you so much for making this one for us! You are very appreciated!!!
thanks for watching
Just curious does your body destroy them or how does your body control them
@@tashbrewster689 the body can't destroy them. There are antiparasitic agents like ivermectin that can kill them. In my country that wasn't available so we used tea tree oil to get rid of them (for some reason they really don't like it). Then repairing the skin barrier and maintaining skin health can prevent a recurrence.
@@mockingbirdnightingale7169 ah that makes sense i was just curious, what help skin barrier does the tea tre oil help? It's only because I get acne roseacea so I was just curious on how to keep it healthy as I'm noy sure on my triggers. X
@@tashbrewster689 tea tree oil doesn't really help the skin barrier as far as I know. But demodex mites do not like tea tree oil. 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!
Glad to see your subscribers growing! Not feeling well but might be able to comment about my experience later with rosacea. 🎉
Other than being grossed out I was delighted to see you address this. Anecdotally I can confirm the IPL as having a positive effect on my skin. My ophthalmologist, a dry eye goddess, included me in an “off label” trial using IPL. One treatment per month for for three months then every other month for two more treatments.
Oh, wow. This was really interesting. Thank you for the video. I love to learn and you’re a great teacher.
Happy Friday!
Thank you for your informative video. I have a small area on my face that has rosacea and I was surprised to learn about these Demodex mites and their bearing on
rosacea.
:)
My puppy had demodectic mange when I adopted her. Her vet described it as an auto immune condition just like Dr. Dray. (The puppy had a rough start as a rescue.) She's got an amazing coat now!
@@songbirdforjesus2381 Dr. Dray would know for sure... But it is my understanding that there are two types of mange:demodectic and sarcoptic. Sarcoptic mange is highly contagious and humans can contract it. Demodectic mange, because it's autoimmune, is very difficult to pass. (Not a Dr./DVM, but asked my vet because I was concerned.)
@@songbirdforjesus2381 they do not. They are different species and the mites that live on dogs can not live off of humans. Hope that helps 😊
@@songbirdforjesus2381 don't let nobody tell u that u can't cuz u can catch both from cats, dogs, birds,hamster they just change the name according the animal it seems.
Did you make it or did you buy one online? Is it a mink coat?
@@TYLIE116 fact! Mite like groups of animals, like birds, reptiles, and mammals. LOTS of different species! Bird mites usually don’t transfer but to a mite, a warm body is a warm body and we can absolutely catch anything another mammal can. Mites will backpack anyone!! Humans can absolutely get fleas, for example.
Accutane was the last resort for my horiffic
acne rosacea. Nothing else worked including all of the classic prescriptive remedies. Accutane is not fun to take but after 6 continuous months my skin was clear enough to stop. In 10 years since, I can say it CURED my rosacea. I don't even flush anymore and my skin is perfectly normal without ruddiness or inflammation.
I had the same experience. Tried everything and my “acne” rosacea did not respond it only got worse. I didn’t want to leave the house. Finally realized I had demodex and started epuris (form of accutane) along with teatree oil and my skin started to look better within two weeks. All gone but the scarring within two months. Stayed on low dose epuris for a year 10ml 3x week). Worked so well was scared to go off.
How long did you take accutane and how many milligrams?
@@corinneo5558 how long did you take Epirus for and how many milligrams?
@@kristinas5714 Hi - I started with 20 mg per day until everything cleared up and was stable (-3 months). Then went down to 10 mg per day, then down to every other day, twice a week and then off all together. The whole process took one year but mostly because I was scared it would come back because i was on such a low dose. No side effects at all for me but really dry lips at first. Nice part was you don’t need to was hair as often. Need a really good lip and face moisturizer.
@@kristinas5714 hi! I took accutane for about 8 months. It wasn't easy as my skin dried out and my nostrils were constantly dripping. But it was so worth it in the long run. Its been several years since and my skin is NORMAL. No hint that I ever had rosacea. No flare ups, no inflammation, no redness or ruddiness. No acne scars. I don't remember the milligrams, but it was my wonderful new dermatologist who recommended it after nothing else worked. I did have to take monthly blood tests to check my liver function but this is just part of the process as accutane is a very controlled drug. I did not need to take the required monthly pregnancy test as I had had a hysterectomy previously. I hope this information helps. Regards, Dru
I was a veterinary technician for 20 years, we had dogs with demodex, my job was to do skin scraps, and look for demodex or scabies mites.....then got my RN, not nearly as fun as working in the veterinary field...to many restrictions ...your vidio just brought back memories of the lab experience while working in the veterinary field. THANK YOU.
Thanks Dr Dray I always learn so much ! Have a great Friday
Happy Friday!
This is so interesting....thank you Dr. Dray!💕
Who knew! You are full of all sorts of helpful and interesting information as well as your fun videos😘😘💕
Great video, thank you! I had blepharitis once it was awful. Mine was from eyelash extensions. I not only had the extensions removed, but also never got the extensions again. I have a great deal of compassion and empathy for people that have to deal with this condition on a regular basis.
I think eyelash extensions are part of the problem. I had had them several times and they always tell you not to wash your eyes too much as it makes the lashes fall off faster. This is terrible advice if you are prone to mites and sensitive to them. I will never get eyelash extensions again.
Omg ! I currently have demodex /blepharitis from eyelash extensions ! I thought it was acne on my face but it wasn’t anything like acne just bumps and I realised it started when I got the extensions !
Esthetician here. I've witnessed Estes use their tweezers to fix their friends lashes real quick and then put those tweezers right back in the case - meaning they didn't sanitize the tweezers. I pointed this out and their response, "it didn't actually touch skin so actually its not dirty." Just a minute ago she was laughing about how many eye boogers she woke with every morning....eww, demodex poops.
@@leahjenner6765 hi. How are you now and what is the treatement for demodex blepharitis please? Hope for an answer. thanks😊
@@aminaben5828 tea tree wipes, hypochlorus acid spray
Thank you for the information have a grate Friday Dr. Dray !!
Happy Friday!
You're looking beautiful Dr. Dray! Have a nice Friday!
thanks! Happy Friday!
Hello, thanks for the video! As a sidenote, I think that a few studies(mostly asian) have also shown that demodex mites are more present on some people with acne too.
Lid hygiene wipes have been a godsend for me. My eyelids are crusty in the morning some days and eyelid wipes every morning helps keep it at Bay. Thank you for this video
This is interesting and thanks for all the helpful and positive videos you create for people. We appreciate it!
Thanks for watching! Hope you are having a good day
Dr Dray thank you I hope you are too I love your channel 👍🏻👍🏻🎉
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.
Thx I'm going to try it on my skin n hair. I stated it before but thought it want working so I stopped
TYLIE116 hi, so did you try this treatment? Was it effective? Please don’t ignore, I have demodex on my right cheek and it’s so stressful 😭
I have them in my eyelashes big time! Been using Cliradex eye wipes last two weeks thought they were gone stopped for two days and they are back with a vengeance!!!
I wonder if tumeric face masks work for this too then 🤔
@One Blue Boi oooh, do tell those points pleease
This is fascinating thanks for creating!
Fascinating, in a weird way! Thank you for talking about this. ♥
This is a very new and informative video.Thanks and Happy Friday
This is fascinating! Thanks for sharing this with us Dr Dray
Happy Friday!
Dr Dray happy Friday to you and have a great weekend! 🦋
Your side ponytail looks so pretty! So shiny and polished. Love it. Why is it so cool learning about something as disturbing as skin mites 😂
Interesting topic Dr Dray thank you, Please would you consider a video on Sebaceous/Pilar Cysts? Many Thanks 🌸
:)
Good to know!! Thank you, Dr. Dray!
Happy Friday!
Thank you for all the great information!
Happy Friday!
Agh thumbs up before I can even watch it!
I asked you about this topic in relation to Rosacea some time ago....
Looking forward to watching this ASAP! 😊
Hi dr Dray! Thank you for thus very informative video. Have a great Saturday!
Thanks for watching
I'm a demodectic rosacean too. Using tea tree oil shampoo on my face has helped me some during flare ups. Thanks for all this info!
Gerri Use Desert Essence face wash, it contains tea tree oil
I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I didn’t quite understand why my dermatologist prescribed Soolantra for me when Finacea & Metronidazole failed. I was on it for several months & I’m happy to say that my rosacea is well under control & I have not needed the Soolantra for almost a year. I am passing on this video to my GP who never understood why I was on it either!
How was your experience with soolantra? Did it make things worse initially?
This video is so helpful. I now feel empowered not scared.
my dog was just diagnosed with demodex mites (mange) today, and i was super confused on how that happened. this explained a lot, thank you!
Very helpful video. Thank you for addressing blepheritis as well.😊😊
thanks for watching
I've read great things about you, so I've subscribed & look forward to your content.
thanks for watching
Thank you so much for this helpful info!
Very helpful Dr. Dray. Thank you!
Happy Friday!
@@DrDrayzday To you as well. I hope you are not baking in Texas...it's toasty here in California.
Ah, this was the video I needed!! Thank you for the very valuable info. I have yet to find a fully effective eyelid scrub as everything has failed me. I ended up needed mometasone steroid ointment a few times for it by an eye doctor. Yikes, that stuff is strong!! I do in fact have illnesses that effect the immune system. My rosacea & blepharitis are relentless right now and I guess it’s time for a dermatologist visit.
And I just started using Kiehl’s ultra facial moisturizer with The Ordinary HA along with my rose water & aloe spray (my holy grail for a flare up), Murad vitamin c defense cleanser because I tolerate it well and it’s not a harsh exfoliant.
I’m bummed to find out Kiehl’s is full of oils. It’s soothing, super hydrating, sinks right in and doesn’t break me out like most moisturizers.😕 What a constant struggle.
Thank you for this! Can you also do a video on what to look for in finding a good dermatologist?
Dr Dray has done a video called First Dermatologist Appointment: What to expect where she goes into deal about various aspects of what to look for.
Thank you, Dr. Dray, for this video. I have all the symptoms you have described and I'm going to make an appointment with my dermatologist right away. My immune system is very low and I have noticed changes in my skin and eyelids and have struggled with it for years. Have a great weekend!!!
I'm glad you got the information that leads you to treatment. Don't forget to make an optimologist appointment too. I have both Rosecia and blepharitus. Eye drops are essential! Do not get redness reducing only hydrating, it's not good for your eyes. I like systane balance and a gel eye drop at night. Good luck.
Happy Friday!
@@AnonymousOregonian Thank you very much, Dannelle. I was using eye drops to reduce the redness in my eyes as they are always burning. I will make sure to make an appointment with an optometrist, as well. I appreciate your advice very much. Have a great weekend.
Try cliradex... cut the each wipes in 4 so save on the cost.
@@AnonymousOregonian What is the name of ur eyedrop? Would u tell please?
Hi Dr Dray, hope you have a wonderful weekend...see you tomorrow x🤩
Thankyou for posting this video. Interesting. I just started on minocycline. Praying this works for me. This whole ordeal has made me depressed..Have a nice weekend.
I know you may not see this bc your comment was 3 years ago. But I wanted to tell you that I was on Minocycline too for the same reason. However, after years on it, I noticed dark lines on my fingernails, running from the cuticle to the tips. And, even worse, I developed bluish gray skin around my mouth, especially upper lip. Turns out that’s a side effect of the meds. I was switched to Doxycycline about a year ago. Condition is better, but not gone. Just beware.
@@vivianhudacek1556 thankyou for the heads up.
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 😊.
What they prescribed you with?
What did you end up taking now did it go?
What was the treatment for this?
Hi. How are you now please? I have the same problem. Hope to have an aswer😊
Yeah Doctorly unecessarily scared me ! But it's nice to know they're mostly friendly
I want to try the baby shampoo cleanse for my left eye. Despite the ophthalmologist poo poo-Ing my dx of rosacea, I still have discharge and chronic dryness and inflammation. I have learned more from you about rosacea. It’s a shame I paid my Derm so much money for so little help and treatment.
Thanks for a great video.
I am just new to your Chanel and l am trying to keep up with your videos that I just simply love. I am going soon to Portugal and I will have the chance to buy sunscreens for me and my 2 year old daughter. I saw some videos speaking about sunscreens for adults but not for babies. Also if you could make a video about the type of skincare regime for a baby would be great. Thank you !
Thank you for the advice.
Thank you for this video💕
Soolantra is helping my rosacea symptoms tremendously. Thank you for what you do ♡
Earthling Mya Ξ I just started this cream along with antibiotics/ about 4 days in a I’m not seeing a noticeable improvement yet. When did you notice a difference?
@@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
I'm unable to get Soolantra because of covid. 😭
It costs 500$ in US😢
You've got glass skin going on in your vid. Its fab!
Thank you so much for this because I take immunosuppressants for lupus and I do have blepharitis along with dry eye. I am using occuhist wipes for the eyes along work olapatidine .2% but I will look into your suggestions as well. I guess I will get cotton rounds and use the baby shampoo mixture to start.
Excellent video!
I put off watching this video for a week and also didn’t want to watch it too late in the evening where I might think about it at bedtime. 😄 Thankfully it was not anxiety inducing!
I need those little dudes to pay rent. 🤣
Ah ha ha ha 🤣🤣
💯💯
hi J J...
'
mite is always free free live in a person skin
😂
Hahaha , you intention is rent that’s why you let them stay .
Hey Dr. Dray!! I was wondering if I should use the Misumi glycolic acid facial cleanser if I have combination and mild acne?!
Very informative!
Happy Friday!
Great video! Would a gentle antiseptic spray help with these mites?
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 UA-cam. Thanks for reading.
search "how to cleanse your face" and you will find the video
Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Dray
thanks for watching
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!
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.
For any clients who are interested in cleansing their lashes I recommend beauty garde formulated to cleanse the lashes
MarissaCakesss I have a family member who has blepharitis. Her eye doctor recommended Johnson’s baby shampoo as well. It works!
WInnie Pauly: I wouldn’t use Johnson’s Baby Shampoo as it contains fragrance. A better option is Eucerin Baby Wash & Shampoo, which is recommended by Dr Dray.
J T Thanks, J.T.! 😊
Happy Friday!! Have a blessed weekend 💝
Happy Friday!
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 wonder if it's truly the yeast or the mites like my eyes and face?
I don’t have your problem but I do have colored treated hair and I shampoo daily with a shampoo without sulfates which I have been told is the culprit that strips out our expensive hair coloring lol.
Use head and shoulders royal oils, it has a sulfate free option.
Happy Friday ᗪr ᗪrαу 🌸💖☕️
Have a wonderful weekend everyone 💜☕️
You're very sweet Happy Friday 🌸🌹 Jennifer
Happy Friday!
Hi sweet Lindi! I hope you had a very enjoyable day! Put your feet up and relax. You deserve it! Have a peaceful evening. 💖😴💖
Stuart Pierce thank you very much and you have a good evening 🌺🍃🍹.
Dr Dray thank you and enjoy your evening 🎵💃🎶
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!
Very interesting and informative! Thanks! ❤🦠😊
thanks for watching
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
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
Happy friday my dear and fav Doctor!
I left you a Twitter :)
Happy Friday!
Hey Dr dray, could you do a video on megadosing on pantothenic acid to treat acne?
Missing your vlogs! Im crossing my fingers for one tomorrow 💕❤️💕
What about cleansing with certain oils (specifically Mad Hippie Oil Cleansing)? Also, what about using tea tree oil? (For skin that tends toward inflammation, oilyness, but flaky-dry on surface.)
Thanks. Doc.
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
I sooooo needed this....going through it with these darn mites
Use Desert Essence Face wash
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?
Thank you sooooo much ❤️
Happy Friday!
Dr. Dray, could you talk about the demodex mites on our scalp that cause hair loss, and what is the treatment? Thank you.
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?
Hi Dr Dray! I've been following you for awhile now. This doesn't have anything to do with your topic of the day, EW!, but thank you for your videos they are so informative, although I like it better when you share your personal life better. 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.
hey! love the videos, if you can, can you review the Aveeno Clear Complexion skin line? thank you ❤
I think she's mentioned some of those products before. Maybe trying doing the UA-cam search with Dr.Dray's name and the product names.
If they have fragrance she'll say no though.
@@susanvirginia6037 oh, thank you so much ❤
Yahir Zenon: I just went to the Aveeno website to check out the ingredients for their Clear Complexion products and they contain FRAGRANCE, so that makes them a NO-GO.
Demodex really are good to have around for most people, clearing away skin and sebaceous waste helps us stay clean and healthy. Of course, as with any other part of our microbiome (or body, for that matter), when they cause issues we need ways to manage them.
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!
It’s Simple , demodex mites is the problem ALONE .
Every single day make sure you purchase tea tree oil wipes with Hyaluronic acid and chamomile extract and make sure aloe Vera is in it too . After a shower before bed EVERY single day use these wipes Monday to Friday and have the weekends off , Ofcourse if you are using makeup on Saturdays then it’s a must .
Also your gut determines your skin so fungal and yeast too much sugar Candida albicans you’ll need to apply this for the rest of your life .
One good thing for your gut is
Wild Oregano oil
Fruits (1 serve a day) and vegetables plenty .
Cumin , turmeric , garlic , ginger are all great and also in particular rocket and fennel . Take it easy on any processed foods also ect salami , pizza , sausages , McDonald’s frappe or ice cream with syrups that are genetically modified with corn syrup , gluten is a big no ect .
I hope this helps .
Very off subject, but wondering what you think of the Ziip facial device or others, hopefully cheaper, which perform the same function?
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.
Great Q
Ironically my fear of mentioning demodex mites is due to the fact the last time i went to the doctor and mentioned it...he immediately reached for the 'anti-psychotic' prescriptions...even though i've never been diagnosed with a psychotic illness nor do I display any such symptoms appart from daring to think I may have parasites.
But that is what the Uk NHS is like. I guess you get what you pay for in this case...the NHS is free and subsequently a lot of the doctors are trigger happy with prescription drugs as that's how the NHS makes its money!
I haven't been to see a doctor (GP) since...that was 4 years ago!
Subsequently I went to Moorefields Eye Hospital who immediately confirmed Demodex and offered Blepher Demodex as a treatment but it's for sale only and not available on prescription.
The NHS is the pits. I’ve got some stories. Honestly, people here wouldn’t know a decent medical system if it slapped them in the face. Ultimately, everything government touches turns to the pits. I’m terrified I might get something more seriously wrong other than a skin rash. No wonder people pay extra for private to avoid it and it’s mandatory for a reason. So good, it requires government force to exist. Anyway, sorry for the rant.
Hi Dr Dray! Your first two cleanser links seem to be incorrect and go to Vaseline. Thought I’d let you know 💕💕
