Hello all! I cotton swab full strength tto all over my face every night and my skin has improved so much!! I used to just treat my pustules but then bumps would just show up on other places on my face so that's why I started treating my whole face. I also found that drawing salv helps get rid of super stubborn pustules. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I think flushing and redness meanings the decent amount of demodex mites have died (the redness is a direct reaction to their decaying bodies and their bacteria)... So I ENCOURAGE anything that makes me flush bc I want these suckers dead.... This method works for me. Has anyone else thought of this? Also, castor oil helps to provide me with relief from dry red eyes.

Hi Sandy,I find that castor oil is gentle and it sooths inflammation. It also has anti-microbial properties, so if there is any kind of infection it helps. Castor oil acts as a kind of barrier, stopping drying out and crusting

After doing the regular eyelid cleaning routine (details on the Blepharitis link):
Wash your hands and dry them if they are not already clean. Wet the end of your finger with half a drop of castor oil, wipe off any excess. Your finger should be wet with the oil, but no sign of a drop forming. Spread a small amount of the castor oil with your finger tip along the eyelids and lashes, while your eyes are closed. If you use too much, oil will get in your eyes and you will have blurry vision until it disperses. I found after two weeks that the eyelid margin was softer, the crusting was much less, and the red effect of the blepharitis was much less severe.
