I have noticed that my redness has seemed to increase these past few days.
Also, I've had periods of "hot spots/patches" on my face. ... I am
wondering, though, if this patchy flushing response might be related to the
ivermectin treatment? It's just odd; and it may simply be a coincidence. <


Since rosacea waxes and wanes, it's often hard to tell what is temporary
and/or coincidental, isn't it? My symptoms are the kind most likely to have
mite infestation and I've had five consecutive daily doses x 12 mg or 1.2
ml. So far, no redness and not a trace of itching. Instead, my skin is
unusually calm. The base colour seems paler and the pores aren't clogging as
much.

However, this may be entirely coincidental, so it will be interesting to see
what the end results are in another nine days, not to mention a few weeks
down the track.

Certainly no stomach problems of any kind. It's as if I'd had a spoonful of
water instead!

Kind regards,

Aurelia
