I did the test, and I have demodex mites. My hair has been failing out for months now and itching like crazy, including my eyebrows and eyelashes. My face and body gets tingling sensations right before they break out into whiteheads. I don't want to spend alot of money on the zz cream from demodexsolutions.com, and heard that ponds cold cream suffocates these mites. Can I use ponds cold cream as an effective treatment to kill these things? Are there any other cheaper alterantives to killing these mites? I heard that borax and butt paste rash cream for babies are good for demodex mites too, but I don't know if they are better or worse at killing them compared to the zz cream. Anyone out there that has used any of the cheaper products with success?
