Tea tree + Manuka Honey - No more crawling feeling.....demodex?

dimanche 23 août 2015

I just recently added 1 drop of 100% tea tree oil to my honey cleansing regimen and noticed that the itchy / crawling sensation I felt on my chin went away. Would this be a sign of a demodex issue? After 1 week I had an abnormal amount of whiteheads pustules come up almost over night on my chin as well.....

I've posted my conditions here http://http://www.rosaceagroup.org/T...something-else but my condition is the following:

  • Water only washing 6 months ago after 5 yrs of benzoyle peroxide use
  • Developed small patches of seb derm, but went away after honey cleansing
  • Flaky, scaley skin on chin, mustache and eyebrows. Greasy film texture on my chin
  • Chronic pustules (almost folliculitis like) on my chin only, is not affected by diet
  • Tea tree oil immediately decreased flakiness / scaling on chin


I consistently have these white little plugs of skin on my chin, and used a tweezer to pull a few out. I immediately got a hive like pimple followed by a pus filled center (yeah gross!). I also sometimes have a sensation of wetness at the corner of my mouth and sometimes a stinging prickly feeling on my chin.

At first I thought my chin issue was seb derm, but the crawling sensation directed me towards demodex or something else. The pustules could very well be a folliculitis issue, but after not using anything harsh for 6 months I'd have thought this would have gone away.

August 15th pictures was taken 2 days after using TTO with honey. Any insight on this would be great! Thanks!
