I've got new peach fuzz!

Its been about 2 weeks since I first found r/RosaceaHelp and found out about demodex mites and the power of teatree oil. I just wanted to post an update.

I've started using a 50/50 teatree oil on a very warm facecloth in the evenings to clean around eyes and face. Shampoo with teatree shampoo every other day. Use a 5% teatree cream before bed. AM I repeat, but only use the teatree cream around eyes and a SPF cream for face.

About 4 days ago I noticed that I'm getting my fine face hairs back. To be honest I didn't even notice they were gone. This AM I noticed that they are coming back on my nose as well. I've stopped using my eye drops, but the swelling is still there but I'm hoping in another few weeks I will see progress there as well.

I just want to say thanks for all the great info and advice. This is the first progress I've made in almost 5 years with my rosacea.
