Admin, thank you so much for convincing me to get tested for a subcutaneous mite. I'm 18 years old. I've had acne since I was born. My face was constantly covered with red small pimples and spots. What I have not tried! Each read on the Internet advice instantly "pulled" on himself. In the hands were and bogeyman, and all sorts of tinctures, and differin, and skinoren, and a bunch of swallowed pills. But all was in vain. I can't hide that your advice to take a test and even so do not wash three days before the test, perceived with a snide chuckle. Like, what nonsense. But after reading the forum, I decided that I will not lose. So I took the test. They found a subcutaneous mite.
After that, I read it carefully list of toolsthat are used during tick treatment. I stocked up on tar soap, tar shampoo, calendula tincture, bought yam ointment at the veterinary pharmacy, asked the dermatologist to prescribe metrogil gel. With difficulty, but still found demalan. I bought a new synthetic pillow, several sets of bedding and a bunch of towels.
Treatment regimen for subcutaneous mites
Started treatment yesterday.
Tonight: I washed my face, hair and body with tar shampoo. I wiped my face, ears and eyebrows with calendula tincture. I applied demalane to my eyes. I put Yam on my face. After 15 minutes, I removed the Yam with olive oil. I applied metrogil gel and left it on overnight. I thought it would sting a lot after the Yam. No, it was quite tolerable.
In the morning: I washed myself head to toe with tar shampoo. Calendula. Demalan on my eyes. I didn't put on the yam because I had to go to work. I just put metrogil gel on it. I change pillowcases, bedding and towels every time I wash.
I used this regimen for three days. I thought I'd get new pimples all over my face. But it didn't. New pink ripe pimples appeared on my face. The old ones dried up.
It's day four. Well, I guess it's on. My skin's really tight. It hurts to smile. There was peeling around my mouth. Big, painful subcutaneous pimples started popping up. They felt like bumps. The ones that have dried up haven't come off yet. The impression is that even though they have dried up, it is as if they are only on the outside.
But I will continue the treatment. The Yam ointment does not wash off very well with olive oil. It leaves sand on the skin. After the oil, I wash it off with tar shampoo. It feels good.
It has been 18 days since the start of treatment.
No new pimples appear. Painful subcutaneous pimples have stopped appearing. The bumps are dissolving little by little. All the pimples have dried up. The skin is not so flaky anymore. Only on the chin and around the mouth. My forehead is completely cleared up. I can't say the same for the rest of my skin. The pores are clogged with something black. A pit, I guess.
It's been a month since the treatment. My skin is visibly clearer. No new pimples appeared. But I decided to continue the treatment for a couple more weeks. Then I'll go to the doctor and take a second test. I went to the gynecologist. They found an infection. I'm going to get it treated. I went to the ear, throat, nose. Turns out I have chronic tonsillitis. I'm gonna have to get some irrigations.
Admin's comments from the forum:
You did the right thing. Unfortunately, not many doctors diagnose a pimple mite, and it is impossible to diagnose it by eye. Because pimples look very similar to other infectious skin diseases. Some infections can be detected with the help of all kinds of tests, and some are not analyzed, such as acne. That is why it is so important not to treat any rashes on the face on your own, but to take tests.
The first test is for a subcutaneous mite. If it is found, then it should be treated first. If not - we go on to take further tests and check with a gynecologist, ear, nose throat, gastroenterologist, take blood for Helicobacter, do tests for fungus. Only in this way can the correct diagnosis be made. If the tests are good, then most likely you have acne. In this case, the Acne Treatment Program works well. If other infections are found during the examinations, each of them is treated with its own medicine. Not cosmetics, not folk remedies, but medications prescribed by a doctor.
Don't push skin problems inside, don't let it develop and attack not only your skin but your body as a whole. Go in search of a proper diagnosis solely through various tests. It is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis without analyzing and testing results, and it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis by eye.

It's a painfully familiar problem. However, my treatment consisted of other powerful drugs, but they coped with their task. After recovery, and in the process of treatment, Fiziogel cream helped me a lot to eliminate flaking and tightness of the skin. I still buy it for deep moisturizing of my skin, it's my mast head.
