I caught a bad case of face mites when I danced with somebody who had pimples and our cheeks touched. It is a really mean strain. The life cycle is short, maybe 5-6 hours (as opposed to 15-17). I had to apply zz from demodex solutions four times a day for ten days to get rid of them. Cold cream doesn't slow this strain down. They sting and itch really bad. When my face finally cleared up, I stopped treating. A week later they started coming back. At first I tried spot treating the itchy bumps, but they just moved and popped up somewhere else. So now i am treating my whole face every 3-4 hours, rotating zz with home remedies-

I am putting zz on four times a day

In between, I spray a formula that I made with numerous essential oils that are listed as being useful in the treatment of lice. I mix the essential oils with a tiny bit of orange TKO and some distilled water, spray this on my face, let it soak in, then coat my face with cold cream

I am sleeping with castor oil and Iodine on my face.

I am spot treating with pure essential oils when the itchy bumps appear.
