Dermatologist Shereene Idriss recommends over-the-counter topical ivermectin, sold in the lice aisle, as an underrated rosacea treatment. It works by reducing Demodex parasites on the skin. She prescribes it regularly in her practice.
If your skin looks like this or this or even this and you've tried everything under sun but nothing works, let me turn you on to the most underrated over the counter product that you can buy from your drugstore that's going to help you literally overnight turn you on, put you on. And maybe not overnight, but close enough. Topical ivermectin. Now when you go to the drugstore and you ask for this, they're going to be sending you to the lice aisle because this is a treatment over the counter for lice. But I prescribe this pretty much every day in my practice for people with rosacea because ivermectin is actually a treatment that can help minimize the Demodex parasite on our skin that can cause our rosacea to flare up because yes, even humans have parasites living off of them. And no, I'm not talking about your ex boyfriend. I'm talking about the actual parasites living off your face. Let me know if you nerds have any questions below.
