I had my daughter wax my nose (during a horrible outbreak/no hair on my nose) and it worked! I'm not sure WHY I thought to try it? But so very glad I did. 2 months demodex free on my nose after 14 years of almost all the crazy concoctions mentioned on this page along with several doctors, specialists, medications, etc. I plan on waxing my ears and head next. The bad area on my head is at the base of my neck...so, I figure if we shave that section and apply the wax we'll find out if it works! I'm so excited to try it! If the wax matters: it's a hotmelt machine and she uses beeswax cosmetic wax. I have hair down to my waist, so I figure if we shave that section underneath nobody will see it. However, if I had to shave my entire head just to wax it to get rid of this I would. It has consumed my life for 14 years. It's exhausting. I have scars behind my ears from it...my nose is normal (not scaly/red or swollen) for the first time in 14 years. YAY! Praying it works on the other areas!
