I haven’t been formally diagnosed. I had something on my skin that looked weird. I’ve checked what it could be. Obviously I want nothing to do with the “doctors”, so I manage it myself.
I found the photos showing: Yes, melanoma / No, not melanoma, so I’ve learned that it’s probably: Yes.
I have ivermectin (pills) purchased for my family, so I’ve tried. I didn’t want to swallow it because I would eat my whole stock before it gets to the place I need. It’s easier to dose it externally.
First, I’ve tried to break a pill into hundreds of pieces, put it on the spoon with a water and then on my skin. It wasn’t easy to keep the IVM where I wanted it.
Then I thought: I can buy a horse paste (literally), because it’d be easier to put it on the skin, so it sticks where I need it too. I’ve bought it for around £9 ($11).
I was putting it on the skin in the morning, for the whole day and removing it before going to bed. Every 1 or 2 days, depending if I forgot or not.
After 2-3 weeks my enemy gets smaller, more flat and changed the colour from brown-ish to gray-ish. I no longer feel this weird “skin anxiety” when touching it. I started to ignore it and no longer worry.
I will repeat the process in couple of days to see if it disappears completely.
Just wanted to share with you guys, so you know that it helps.
I’m so glad you all share the information here. This was my 3 cents.
God bless!
I had shingles and one of shingles' side effect is six months of tender, hurting skin where the rash was. I used horse paste. It was gone completely in 48 hours.
I have a friend who gets a prescription ivermectin creme for her rosacea. The brand name is Soolantra. She gave me a tube when she needed ivermectin pills and I traded her. I used the Soolantra the same way you did the horse paste--for shingles. Works great. I should have thought of using the horse paste that way. Great idea!
It sounds as though the rosacea never resolves though. Is this the case?
My mother-in-law has been using it on her rosacea and says that it is working. She didn't think so at first, but then she said she put it on a little thicker and that has been working. She's dealt with rosacea her whole life so she's happy to finally have something that seems to be curing it.
That is just wonderful! I hope it continues to resolve.
Mine did, 30 years ago. Totally different "rosacea," though, in my opinion (the only one that counts if I'm the one suffering). Was diagnosed with "rosacea" in my early 30's that i had never dealt with previously. Splotchy face and forehead particularly when hot, sweaty and/or working, or having a drink, beer, etc.
Went to my doctor...he sent me to dermatologist where I was prescribed an expensive metronidizole cream and was told I'd need it the rest of my life. It didn't help at all. Didn't go back to the dermatologist.
Researched online about rosacea and found a doctor in Australia who'd been doing studies on rosacea and he had theories on there maybe being a connection between h. pylori bacteria and rosacea. He had been testing certain combinations of antibiotics to be taken along with strong antacid.
I convinced my DO, after presenting him with much info I had printed out from the Australian site, to prescribe me the two antibiotics and the prescription antacid that were recommended by the Australian doctor/researcher. After completing that course, I had no improvement.
The Australian doctor/researcher had alternative combinations of antibiotics to try so I told my DO that I wanted to try again. He refused, saying, "what you don't know can be dangerous." I suggested back to him that what he doesn't know can be dangerous as well and I insisted that I wanted him to prescribe me the alternative combination. He again refused and I left never to return to that DO.
I found a new primary doctor and explained everything to him about what had been done and what I wanted to do. He agreed. I went through the alternative antibiotics course and I have not had "rosacea" again since...about 30 ago years, now.
I've been putting "rosacea" in quotes because I believe it can be one thing for one person but something totally different for the next person, and, I also believe, as I believed 30 years ago, that the doctors really don't know all the causes of what they put in their catch-all "rosacea" diagnosis. There are countless bacteria that doctors don't know a damn thing about. Yes h.pylori was the focus of the Australian doctor/researcher's study, however, that doesn't mean there aren't countless other bacteria being effected, either ridding some and/or boosting others, by the antibiotic combos he suggested, or, by the copious antibiotics thrown at me in my life before my "rosacea."
Looking back, after living through this covid bs, it seems a distinct possibility that ivermectin may have been all I would have needed to end my case of "rosacea."
