Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think this may be the problem. I have read many articles about the Demodex mites that people can carry on their skin and not react to it at all. Then there are people like us. We get them and our immune system responds with the red, itching rash. I have read that something called Seabuckthorn oil can get rid of the things. Seems that they get very deep in to the skin and that fits the symptoms of this mess we have all been dealing with.

I am so sorry this is happening to you. Just when we seem to be feeling we may be getting somewhere, and something like this happens to us, it really is quite alarming as well as completely disheartening.
