[Facial Demodex infection among college students in Tangshan]
[Article in Chinese]

Cao YS, You QX, Wang L, Lan HB, Xu J, Zhang XH, Yang H, Xiong YJ, Tian XF.

Laboratory of Medical Examination, Biosciences Department of North China Coal
Medical University, Tangshan 063000, China.
A survey indicated that the prevalence of Demodex infection among 512 college
students in Tangshan was 36.3% (186/512), that of males and females was 39.3%
(81/206) and 34.3% (105/306) respectively (P>0.05). The infection of Demodex
folliculorum accounted for 82.3% (153/186), followed by D. brevis (7.5%, 14/186)
and mixed infection (10.2%, 19/186). The prevalence was 47.0% (93/198) in
subjects with oily skin, 26.6% (37/139) in those with dry skin, and 33.9%
(56/165) in mixed-type skin (P<0.05). Subjects with facial diseases (62.0%,
75/121), such as rosacea and acne, were more likely to be infected with Demodex
than those with healthy skin (27.6%, 80/290) (P<0.05). Prevalence in those lived
in humid environment (67.9%, 95/140) was higher than those lived in the
desiceating environment (24.5%, 91/372) (P<0.05).

Here is another article discussing the high density of demodex mites in rosacea.
A significant number of the students have this problem. Demodectic Rosacea is a
rosacea variant and I have written a chapter in my book, Rosacea 101, about this
subject. I also list a huge number of rosacea research articles which discuss
demodex in rosacea in the appendix.  I have also been keeping an up to date list
of such articles on my web site:

This item is of note to those of you who use isotretinoin with tetracycline
antibiotics or vitamin A supplementation or mthotrexate:

"The concurrent use of isotretinoin with tetracycline antibiotics or vitamin A
supplementation is not recommended. Concurrent use of isotretinoin with
tetracyclines significantly increases the risk of idiopathic intracranial
hypertension. Concurrent intake of Vitamin A supplementation increases the risk
of vitamin A toxicity.[12]
Concurrent use of isotretinoin with methotrexate increases the risk of
hepatotoxicity and may increase methotrexate levels. The combination is used
with caution and close monitoring of adverse effects and liver function tests."

21st Century Ultimate Medical Guide to Rosacea - Authoritative Clinical
Information for Physicians and Patients (Two CD-ROM Set) (CD-ROM) by U.S.
Government (Author)

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb
collection of authoritative documents on the subject of rosacea. Rosacea is a
long-term disease that affects your skin and sometimes your eyes. It causes
redness and pimples. Rosacea is most common in women and people with fair skin.
It usually starts between age 30 and 60. In most cases, rosacea only affects the
face. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient
education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts
have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is
no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you
need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched
collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National
Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and
others. In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc
set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value! The Encyclopedia
presents a collection of official documents about a wide range of medical
topics, diseases, illnesses, health and wellness. There is vital information
from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), National Cancer Institute, and more. Topics covered include: major
diseases, including cancer, heart and vascular disease, stroke, blood diseases
and disorders, lung diseases, and neurological disorders such as dementia and
epilepsy * CDC Health Topics A to Z, Foodborne Illnesses, Infants and Children,
Injuries, Occupational Health, Older Adults, Women * CDC Travelers' Health -
Destinations, Vaccinations, Diseases, Mosquito, Tick, Food, Water, Clinics,
Yellow Book, Children, Airplanes, Cruise Ships, Special Needs, Relief Workers *
Dietary Guidelines * NIH A to Z from abnormalities to X-rays. Since navigating
the Internet to find additional non-governmental medical information can be
confusing, we've also provided our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites"
with updated links to 67 of the best sites for medical information! Built-in
weblinks let you quickly check for the latest clinical updates directly from the
government and the best commercial portals, news sites,
reference/textbook/non-commercial portals, and health organizations.

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that, in order to look at the poll results, I
clicked the "Did not try it - the Rosacea Diet is too difficult" because I have
not tried it yet. But that is because I was going on a long vacation and I know
that is a recipe for disaster with a new diet. For the record, I do not think it
is too difficult if it works.

I came across this group while researching an alkaline diet for another problem
I am having, and I was hopeful that it would help my red face also. Mine has not
progressed to breaking out over the last 12 years or so, but I do have one eye
that has just a touch of something: red, hurts, weepy along the lid fold, comes
& goes for no reason I can find. The doctors 12 years ago could not pinpoint a
diagnosis. At that time I was not only red but my eyes were swelling shut
occasionally. Cortisone shots were the treatment they used then so I just try to
ride it out now with Neem oil. Back then I had every test they could think of,
including Porphyria, but I balked when the doctor said the next step was a
biopsy while it was actually occurring.

I currently live in another state and have another job, so it could be that
there was an environmental trigger or stress causing the swelling. They tested
me for so many things, but not one of them ever suggested rosacea, and I had
never heard of it at the time. Now I am just red, but my eyes do not swell shut
anymore. The redness never goes away, so I do not consider it "flushing"
although I do get redder if it is really hot. I do not think it is Lupus and the
doctors never offer anything meaningful. The horrible thing is that even
hypoallergenic makeup triggers this, so I only cover it up for very special
occasions.

Sorry for the long post; I just wanted to introduce myself to the group before I
became an old-timer. I really enjoy reading everyone's posts.

Note: Please do not reply to this message. Poll votes are
not collected via email. To vote, you must go to the Yahoo! Groups
web site listed below.

This is a reminder to the group that there are continuing polls being
conducted for the Rosacea Diet Users Support Group that ask
the questions:

Should we be able hide individual email addresses from the group?
Has the Rosacea Diet © helped control your rosacea?
Are you a meat eater or a vegetarian?
Besides the Rosacea Diet, What other treatment(s) do you use?
Have you found that sugar substitutes trigger your rosacea?

You may have already voted, but please check to see if your votes
are registered or see the current results of the polls.  This helps all

The poll results or voting can be obtained by logging into:

Click on each Question Poll and then vote if you haven't already voted
or you may see the current results.

I have tried to use the same responses that David Pasco's Review of
the Rosacea Diet received when he conducted his own poll on
Rosacea Diet users.  Pascoe only received four results.  There is
enough evidence from this poll that the Rosacea Diet works.

Reading the results of the polls is very interesting so I hope you
enjoy this yahoo group feature.

Thanks!

been using shampoo and soap and coconut oil with essential oils, (tea
tree and some others) but I don't know if I need to be using these oils
more like medicine, and less like fragrance.

Demodectic Rosacea is in the news again:

While the article calls it "Demodex dermatitis" it is just another name for
demodectic rosacea:

http://www.rosaceans.com/demodex.php

Eventually, physicians will be testing for demodex as a regular routine which
has not been done in the past. I have been encouraging rosaceans to insist for a
demodex text examination since I came out with my book, Rosacea 101, in 2007. 
Finally an article that substantiates what I have been saying about demodectic
rosacea.  More articles will no doubt follow.

There are a number of recipes in the Database at RDUSG which have been added
over the years.  However, a new feature of yahoo groups is the Groups Labs
(Beta)
feature which is in the left column of the group site at the bottom.  I have
added
RECIPES to this list for the group to add their favorite Rosacea Diet recipe for
the
group to use. Enjoy.

I have been conducting polls on the subject, 'Is Flushing Rosacea?' which the
results show that the majority of rosaceans believe flushing is rosacea. In one
poll the results are, as of this date:
41 (63%) YES
14 (22%) NO
10 (15%) Don't know
0 (0%) Don't care

Source of the above poll:
http://rosaceans.com/is_flushing_rosacea_poll.php

In another poll the results are:
16 (55%) YES
5 (17%) NO
7 (24%) Don't know
1 (3%) Don't care
Source of the above poll:
Rosacea Diet Users Support Group Poll

The point of all this is that most rosaceans believe that flushing is rosacea.
However, that is like saying pimples are rosacea. Flushing is only a sign or
symptom of rosacea. Redness due to Inflammation (or erythema) is a sign or
symptom of rosacea. To believe that redness is rosacea is an oversimplification
and not correct. A person could have redness and have all sorts of different
reasons other than rosacea. To have a flush and conclude one has rosacea isn't
the whole picture. To obtain a diagnosis of rosacea requires a physician to
carefully evaluate the patient's history and an actual physical exam. There is
currently no clinical test for rosacea and the judgement of the physician is the
current only and proper way to obtain a diagnosis of rosacea. And such a
diagnosis has later sometimes been found to be wrong. Sometimes the patient
later finds out that it was misdiagnosed and turns out to be SD or something
else. There are a few rosaceans who do not experience flushing and have a
correct diagnosis of rosacea. Dr. Powell in his new book points out that
flushing is not an absolute requirement for a diagnosis of rosacea. There are
other reputable physicians who agree. However, this subject is one of the hotly
debated subjects in the rosacea world. Some physicians, notably Dr. Kligman says
that rosacea is a vascular disorder and flushing is one of the distinguishing
characteristics for a diagnosis. While even Dr. Powell acknowledges that
flushing is probably one of the most distinguishing characteristics in a
diagnosis, he says he has seen patients with rosacea who do not flush any more
than the general population and these patients do not report flushing. However,
the inflammation or erythema associated with rosacea can cause the burning
sensation that most rosaceans complain about. Flushing continues to probably be
the most talked about and most concerned subject rosaceans discuss in all the
rosacea forums and groups and rightly so. It is a major concern. However,
flushing avoidance is simply one way to treat rosacea. There are other
treatments available so focusing only on flushing might prove to be frustrating
since there are other options available and it is difficult to avoid flushing
for many.

I have added a new page to my site listing the Anti-Flushing Treatments:

If you know of other treatments let me know so I can add them to the list,
please.

Causes of Dry Skin <http://www.herbaltreatmentinfo.com/dry_skin.html>

The skin loses its capacity to retain moisture, as we grow old. The
extreme climatic conditions to which we get exposed, as we grow old
worsen the condition and skin becomes more dry.

The list of linking rosacea and Demodex folliculorum is massive. I have
found another one just released in May 2009 in Russian linking demodecosis
and erythema, which no doubt could also be rosacea. The article entitled,
"Criotherapy in treatment of skin demodecosis" is listed on my Demodex
Rosacea Research page which you can see along with many other clinical studies
at this url:

Cryotherapy in conjunction with metronidazole was shown in a Russian clinical
study to be more effective in treating rosacea than just using metronidazole
alone.

David Pascoe pointed out an article posted on the NY Times Consults on his web
site:

http://rosacea-support.org/nytimes-says-no-natural-remedies-for-rosacea.html

which led me to the original article which he comments on, which led me to a
comment by Gabriella Getzko about her natural rosacea treatment which is unique
and so I felt compelled to post the entire post on my web site:

http://www.rosaceans.com/getzko_treatment.php

Whether this works or not for other rosaceans will no doubt be posted in the
future since it is a very inexpensive treatment for rosacea.  She says she
discovered this treatment "on a natural website for regaining the body's PH
levels, a "natural alkalizing" website."  I am sure we will hear more about this
treatment and wonder if more rosaceans say this works?
