Oral Ivermectin Update

I posted about a month ago that my new dermatologist recognized demodex almost immediately, at my first visit. He prescribed me metrogel (2x - day,) 100mg of doxycycline (2x-day,) AND an oral prescription for ivermectin (two does of 12mg pills, taken exactly 7 days apart.)

I am pleased with the results so far. I am left with mostly scarring but my inflammation and pain are so much better! I have not experienced a single deep, cystic like acne spot since I began the medicines.

I didn’t experience any side effects from the ivermectin and feel that in my case, it was well worth it. This experience and flare up has been the worst of my life and I’m finally hopeful that I will one day get to go back to my days of a confidently makeup free face.
